Words that rhyme with Martini

Why martini rhymes the way it does
Martini is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the tight /ɪ/, then it ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 6, additive and subtractive together 146, assonance 5,549, and consonance 935. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Martini rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
