If you're searching for rhymes for summons, the shape of the pool is unusual: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands.

Why summons rhymes the way it does
In our engine, summons registers as a two-syllable word on the open /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 4,915, and consonance 30. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With summons, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
