Why comfortable rhymes the way it does
To understand why comfortable rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the flat /æ/, written /æ/ — and the ending, which spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 20, assonance 5,360, and consonance 2. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for comfortable tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
