Why shooter rhymes the way it does
Pull shooter apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 154, assonance 3,552, and consonance 993. 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. Shooter rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
