Nothing worse than predictable rhymes. The cliche ones used all the time ARE THE WORST and rhymes of convenience where a rhyming word which does not really fit the story is put in just to match the last word should be avoided. I would prefer a near rhyme to these or a complete change or avoidance of certain rhymes or lines to avoid these pitfalls. It just requires a bit of thought plus a rhyming dictionary and thesaurus.
It is also important to remember that certain accents or dialects allow words to rhyme when perhaps according to the Oxford dictionary and using proper pronunciation they should not.
