Words that rhyme with Roche
Roche, a one-syllable stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, lands its weight on the open /ษ/ and lands on an affricate. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. This one travels in song as a word everyone uses.

Why roche rhymes the way it does
Roche is built around the open /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's one-syllable and ends on an affricate snap. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 10 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 43, assonance 5,443, and consonance 177. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Roche is a word that benefits from the second pass.
