Why compton rhymes the way it does
Compton is built around the round /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 83, assonance 7,609, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Compton reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
