A WORD THAT DOESN’T RHYME?
The adjective Purple is often thought not capable to rhyme in the English language… but a donkey knows better!
Purple rhymes with Curple. (Curples; plural), aka the collective hindquarters used to describing and pinpointing specific sections of a donkey.
And also Hirple, meaning to walk with a limp or lameness.
”The poor old Donkey named Purple had a longstanding arthritic curple, which presented a tiresome hirple.”
