Why puppet rhymes the way it does
Puppet is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 38, assonance 4,515, and consonance 171. 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. Puppet is a word that benefits from the second pass.
