Why senator rhymes the way it does
To understand why senator rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the back /ษหr/, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 124, assonance 12,574, and consonance 316. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Senator is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
