Why mcclure rhymes the way it does
Mcclure is built around the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/); it's one-syllable and spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 51 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 473, assonance 1,400, and consonance 0. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Mcclure is a word that benefits from the second pass.
