Words that rhyme with Edison

The phonetic facts first: edison is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the open /ษ’/, and the line hums to a nasal close. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Pool data: perfect matches come in a small handful, the family-rhyme list contributes ear-friendly slants, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.
