Why commissioner rhymes the way it does
Commissioner is four-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the r-coloured schwa, then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 4 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 54, assonance 10,513, and consonance 941. 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. 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. Commissioner works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
