Why agenda rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for agenda starts at the vowel — the front-and-flat /æ/, IPA /æ/ — and ends where the line opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 131, assonance 12,596, and consonance 461. 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With agenda, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
