I think it's a trope. If a stock rhyme is used in a work, then you can add it if the rhyme is already listed, or add both the rhyme and the example if it's not listed.
TBH, I'm not too fond of "stock" tropes because it's really hard to define. What differentiates a "stock" rhyme and just a regular rhyme?

Hm. Sort of the opposite of Least Rhymable Word? There are definitely words which rhyme with a lot of other common words and are easy to add to the end of a sentence, and pairs of words that can be expected to go together due to related sounds and meaning. Feels only slightly less lazy than Rhyming with Itself, probable causal relationship with Meaningless Meaningful Words, and likely to be used in Rhymes on a Dime or Accidental Rhyme.

It's a way to group all standard, recognizable/common elements that usually show up only in one way, and not all "stock tropes" are bad.
This trope is similar to Stock Quotes. Certain popular quotes from influential/respected people that are used a lot in fiction. Here. it's overused, popular rhymes like "baby/maybe/lady/crazy" and "sky/fly/high." They both trope how certain phrases/words stick with people and easily come to mind/can be recognized right away.
Stock Rhymes lists examples, but not in the usual way. I'm confused. Does it need to be crosswicked or can I add examples without crosswicking?
For every low there is a high.
