Why liverpool rhymes the way it does
To understand why liverpool rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the deep /uห/, written /uห/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 32 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 220, assonance 2,938, and consonance 1084. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Liverpool rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
