Steve Erkle rhymes with purple.

Erkle & purple do not rhyme, and nurple isn't a word.

sure they do

A trashery of haberdashery.
 

The lyrics "...maple surple" are from an old Roger Miller song called "Dang me".

If you want some more of those invented word rhymes, check out some Ogden Nash poetry

This is from one called "common cold"

Give ear, you scientific fossil!
Here is the genuine Cold Colossal;
The Cold of which researchers dream,
The Perfect Cold, the Cold Supreme.
This honored system humbly holds
The Super-cold to end all colds;
The Cold Crusading for Democracy;
The Führer of the Streptococcracy.

Take note, all you would be poets, for there has never been a better line in a poem than, "The Führer of the Streptococcracy"

how doesnt erkle rhyme with purple? they sound the same to me.

now thats what i'm talkin about

They aren't rhymes. They have to have the exact same sound at the end like moon & noon.

couldn't you call it half rhyme, near rhyme, off rhyme, or slant rhyme? thats still rhyming.

But not true rhyming.

you do agree that it's still rhyming don't you?

No.

someone wanna help me out?

Er. .
 

Saying rhyme by itself lacks a sufficient adjective, so it can therefore be interpreted as any of the above. However, if you wish to enforce the rule that they must have the same ununciation (sp?) in order for them to rhyme say "The words xxx and yyy don't fit my definition of rhyme because they zzz rhyme, rather than full rhyme". . replacing xxx, yyy and zzz accordingly
