since you were so helpful last time…

What’s some words that rhyme with purple? They don’t need to be exact rhymes, so, you know…turtle, hurdle… that kind of thing.

  1. Opal?

    I’ve got a copy of the rhyming dictionary somewhere – it’s not as useful as it sounds; it ‘s really only about the ‘masculine’ rhymes.

  2. I have one rhyming dictionary (the Penguin one I think, just can’t see it right now) and it is always a good start, but as Laura says, a bit limited. It doesn’t have maple surple, for example.

    Or snertle

    And I don’t think it has burble.

    And maybe not circle.

    This has been fun, hasn’t it? And also – for me, at least – quite useful. We might try it again next week.

  3. I’m not a poet (and don’t I knowet)! Actually, I’ve often wondered where poets even begin. I haven’t even tried writing a poem since I was sixteen and writing the kind of thing even dolly wouldn’t publish.

    I was trying to update the school yard taunt ‘purple’s as slow as a turtle’. I seem to have gone to the only public school where purple was a house colour.

  4. Also, gurgle, herbal and verbal.

    And you could try the Ogden Nash type rhymes: dirt’ll, squirt’ll, Bert’ll, twerp’ll and so on.

    (EG:

    That dirt’ll
    never come out
    of the purple
    grout.

    Wait: Exit Mould!
    I knew it!
    A little squirt’ll
    do it!)

    Etc, ad nauseam. No prizes for guessing who has to clean the bathroom today.

  6. ‘You’ve got purple grout?’

    Poetic license.

    ‘Blurtle’

    Oh, that is beautiful.

    Big Mouth Bob was given to fits of blurtle.
    He’d blurtle even when trying to flirtle.
