What is the best rhyme scheme for police in poetry?

Songwriter Pro Tip

Instead of the obvious "police/piece" pairing, try coupling "police" with unexpected near-rhymes like "geese" or "fleece" to subvert listener expectations—it creates cognitive dissonance that mirrors the song's theme if you're writing about control or freedom. Alternatively, bury "police" mid-bar and rhyme the next line with something softer ("please", "ease") to create tonal friction that feels intentional.
