Why penis rhymes the way it does
The phonology of penis is a two-syllable core: the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/), then it tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 1, additive and subtractive together 264, assonance 6,567, and consonance 196. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Penis works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
