Why maury rhymes the way it does
Maury is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ɪ/, then it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 25 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 40, assonance 4,831, and consonance 582. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Maury pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
