Why chopping rhymes the way it does
In our engine, chopping registers as a two-syllable word on the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/) that lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 3, additive and subtractive together 68, assonance 6,784, and consonance 96. 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. Chopping is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
