Why daycare rhymes the way it does
Daycare is built around the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 180, assonance 5,203, and consonance 6. 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. Daycare works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
