Why collar rhymes the way it does
To understand why collar rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 51, assonance 6,083, and consonance 902. 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 collar, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
