Rhyme Time: Sublime or Crime?

My penchant for hyphens and alliteration does occasionally provoke a literary pet peeve response in some. However, there is one facet of wordplay that pushes my bleeech buttons: rhymes that really don't. Hymns are notorious for it...attempting to connect "again" with pairings like "gain" or "plain."

This morning, over breakfast (English muffins with butter, sugar and cinnamon), the word "cinnamon-y" was used. Say it out loud. It's fun! Now say "an anemone," as in the under the sea residence of Nemo.

We're stumped! Do they or don't they rhyme? Cinnamon-y and an anemone...
