Why suck rhymes the way it does
The phonology of suck is a one-syllable core: the unrounded /ส/ (/ส/), then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 45 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 55, assonance 3,630, and consonance 590. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Suck pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
