Words that rhyme with Goebbels

Why goebbels rhymes the way it does
The phonology of goebbels is a two-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 40 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 140, assonance 11,639, and consonance 60. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Goebbels works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
