Why sumner rhymes the way it does
Sumner is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, then it 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 74, assonance 4,252, and consonance 94. 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. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Sumner reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
