Why carr rhymes the way it does
Carr is one-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 73 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 437, assonance 6,210, and consonance 703. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Carr reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
