Why walters rhymes the way it does
The phonology of walters is a two-syllable core: the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/), then it spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 58, assonance 6,670, and consonance 74. 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. 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. Walters rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
