What Rhymes with Fifty-Nine?

Let's play a rhyming game. What rhymes with fifty-nine?  Well, for one thing, the word "rhyme." But I started thinking this morning, for some reason:  What words rhyme with fifty, and what words rhyme with nine. There's a short list for "fifty" that I came up with:  Nifty (that sounds like a word from the '50s), Shifty (I've never thought of myself as shifty), and Thrifty (my husband has probably never thought of me as 'thrifty," even though I do try sometimes).  The first three words that came to mind for "nine" were:  Wine (I don't know why, since I really don't drink much wine), whine (well, I can whine sometimes), and shine (probably because the sun was out - finally).  So then I  thought to myself, well, instead of thinking, "Oh, no, I'm going to be 59 this year," I can say, "Oh, yes, I'm going to be Nifty-Shine."  Okay, so my husband just looked at me a little strange when I just said that, but I like it . . . I'm going to be Nifty-Shine.
