Why robber rhymes the way it does
Robber is built around the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 21 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 60, assonance 5,023, and consonance 252. 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. 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. Robber rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
