Why packer rhymes the way it does
Pull packer apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 29 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 6,996, and consonance 985. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for packer tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
