Yes, Beautiful Rudi: This is more than you wanted to know. Inasmuch as you want to rhyme, I will offer poetic license words. These include all words of two syllables in which the first has the vowel 'a' and the second ends in 'er', as in passer, gasser, etc. We Northeasterners pronounce words ending in 'er' like the final 'a' in NASA. (Cf., however, JFK's pronunciation of the 'a' in some words ending in 'a' as a mid-word 'er', e.g., 'Cuber' for Cuba). There is a Latin word, 'rasa' as in rasa tabula, which freely translated means 'empty' (slate). I have heard it pronounced rasa as in NASA, but I am not a Latin maven, as in raven. Of course there is the place in the Middle East called Gaza, pronounced Gahzza or Gazza. In addition, you could use some words with the letters 'th' as an alternative to 's' or 'ss', as in rather or gather. Another substitution could be 'st', as in master or pastor, for the 's' in NASA. Also, try sir, after a word like alabaster or master. I could offer some dialect pronunciations of ordinary English word combinations but these might be viewed as offensive to some. Of course there is pasta. but even in the Northeast it is pronounced 'pahsta'. How about a word combination ending in the word 'her', Northeastern style, as in 'sass her'. I could ramble on, but I've done that already. The truth is I don't know a simple rhyming word, but you had to read everything else before you found out. Great Satan
