Words that rhyme with Cholera
Singers reaching for cholera find a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word on the surface and a three-syllable core on a low-front /æ/ underneath — one that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's a word everyone uses — which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. In a song, the word is a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Behind it, the rhyme map shows strict matches don't survive the classifier, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.

Why cholera rhymes the way it does
Cholera is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /æ/, then it doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 6,090, and consonance 910. 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. Cholera works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
