Why barr rhymes the way it does
To understand why barr rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 80, assonance 7,239, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Barr rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
