Why marcos rhymes the way it does
Marcos is built around the round /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 28 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 48, assonance 6,594, and consonance 477. 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. 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. Marcos reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
