Words that rhyme with Mom
Mom works as a word everyone uses on the lyric side and one-syllable the open /ษ/ on the sound side โ it trails through a nasal hum at the close. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. The assonance well is bottomless, there's a small family-rhyme pool to draw from, and the strict-rhyme column is bounded. Songwriters asking for rhymes for mom run into the same map every time: the pull is toward slant work. When the strict column thins, the family column is the most singable next step.

Why mom rhymes the way it does
Mom is built around the open /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 44, additive and subtractive together 67, assonance 6,493, and consonance 504. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With mom, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
