Why bonner rhymes the way it does
The phonology of bonner is a two-syllable core: the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/), then it 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 81, assonance 6,577, and consonance 27. 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. Bonner rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
