Words that rhyme with Pony
Pony: two-syllable, a common-tongue word, vowel sitting on the short /ษช/, ending that leaves the vowel hanging open. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Its job in a lyric is a workaday word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Search rhymes for pony long enough and you notice the pattern: perfect rhymes are common for this one, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well is bottomless. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.
