Why landlord rhymes the way it does
To understand why landlord rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends with a liquid-stop kick. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 146 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 227, assonance 7,022, and consonance 135. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Landlord works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
