Why smoker rhymes the way it does
The phonology of smoker is a two-syllable core: the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/), then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 105, assonance 3,548, and consonance 637. 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. Smoker rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
