Why rocker rhymes the way it does
Rocker is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 45, assonance 5,776, and consonance 654. 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. Rocker rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
