Why yorkshire rhymes the way it does
Yorkshire is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 45, assonance 6,655, and consonance 0. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Yorkshire works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
