Why bummed rhymes the way it does
Pull bummed apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 7 matches, family rhymes 29, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 4,910, and consonance 111. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Bummed is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
