Why bookstore rhymes the way it does
Bookstore is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ vowel, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 114 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 559, assonance 3,751, and consonance 806. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Bookstore works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
