Why andres rhymes the way it does
The phonology of andres is a two-syllable core: the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 57 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 117, assonance 10,363, and consonance 442. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for andres tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
