Words that rhyme with Mockery
Mockery belongs to the three-syllable group; its vowel is the short /ษช/, and it doesn't close on a consonant at all. The lyric tradition treats it as a word everyone uses. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Two readings: as data โ no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, family rhymes come up empty, the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous; as lyric โ a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why mockery rhymes the way it does
To understand why mockery rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the high /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 5,785, and consonance 665. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Mockery reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
