Words that rhyme with Myers
Singers reaching for myers find a workaday word on the surface and a one-syllable core on the mid /ษ/ underneath โ one that trails off into a fricative. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Its job in a lyric is a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Anyone hunting rhymes for myers ends up at the same crossroads: perfect rhymes are common for this one, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance well is bottomless. Hold the perfect column for the chorus; let the verses sample the slant columns.

Why myers rhymes the way it does
Pull myers apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 57 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 79, assonance 3,317, and consonance 479. 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. Myers rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
