Words that rhyme with Medicare

Most songwriters treat medicare as a workaday word, but the phonology underneath matters: three-syllable, vowel on the /ษ‘หr/ vowel, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Songwriters reach for it as a common-tongue word. The perfect-rhyme column is well-stocked, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. There's enough in the strict column to write a verse without leaving it.

Why medicare rhymes the way it does

The phonology of medicare is a three-syllable core: the /ษ‘หr/ vowel (/ษ‘หr/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 128 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 106, assonance 7,157, and consonance 739. 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. 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. Medicare rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
