Words that rhyme with Kid
For lyric work, kid behaves as a second-person word. Sound-wise: one-syllable, vowel on the tight /ษช/, finally it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. It puts a second pronoun in the verse by implication. In a song, the word is a 'you-and-I' word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows the perfect-rhyme column has enough to live in, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Spend the first verse in the perfect column before sampling the slants.

Why kid rhymes the way it does
In our engine, kid registers as a one-syllable word on the short /ษช/ (/ษช/) that lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 65 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 12, assonance 10,965, and consonance 819. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Kid pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
