Why broker rhymes the way it does

Broker is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษœหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 105, assonance 3,548, and consonance 637. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With broker, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
