Words that rhyme with Sodomy
The phonetic facts first: sodomy is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the high /ɪ/, and the line opens out at the end. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The headline counts: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, family rhymes give you a few singable slant options, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. The lyric headline: it works as an unguarded everyday word. The contemporary ear forgives — and prefers — the assonance matches here.
