Words that rhyme with Meg
For the rhyme search, what matters about meg is this: one-syllable, vowel on the short /ษ/, ending that snaps shut on a stop. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something.

The perfect-rhyme list below is generous; lean on it before sliding into slant.

Why meg rhymes the way it does
Pull meg apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 17, assonance 9,868, and consonance 174. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Meg is a word that benefits from the second pass.
