what about turtle?
why not use mauve, violet or indigo! there are so much many more that rhyme with them!!
Hurtle Myrtle

"hurple" (to hobble along with one leg behind the other, somewhere between a walk and a crawl) and

"curple" (the leather strap buckled under a horse's tail OR the rump or hind quarters of a horse)

What about words that rhyme with silver or orange ?

I know of a scholar from Holland,
Who's vocab must need to be broadened,
There's no rhyme for orange?
But what about "lozenge"?
His list of word primes should be shortened!

It's pushing it to rhyme orange and lozenge, but it's the closest I could get! Either that or syringe.

Still can't think of one for silver though.

Um, amarillis, what dictionary did you find those purple rhymes in?

Years ago when I was at school we held a contest to see who could find words to rhyme with purple, orange and silver (apparently the main non-rhymers of the English language) and the two words I've mentioned here were the purple winners - I didn't come up with them, but I did remember them!

 How about circle?
How can cirCull rhyme with purPull ????!!

This was answered on QI the other day and it is in the OED and amarillis is right.

Not sure about silver though
