Words that rhyme with Procedure
On the page, procedure is a plain-speech anchor; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the r-coloured schwa that trails through a flowing liquid. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. The headline counts: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance well runs into four figures. The lyric headline: it works as a household-word. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why procedure rhymes the way it does
In our engine, procedure registers as a three-syllable word on the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/) that trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 143, assonance 3,385, and consonance 114. 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. 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. Procedure is a word that benefits from the second pass.
