Why mcguire rhymes the way it does
Mcguire is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Mcguire pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
