Pur-pul?

Hir-pil?

Really a rhyme? Depends I suppose.

Wo-man. V summ-an. Nope.

Close enough I hear you cry but damn it someone in america spent good time typing that **** into the interwebs. You'll have to do better.
Meh - you obviously don't know your voiceless alveolar lateral fricative from your tense mid front unrounded vowel.

Neither do I, but I do think woman and summon is a reasonable rhyme - the final vowel sound isn't really voiced clearly in either so close enough in my book. Anyway, different dialects and accents can have wildly different pronunciations.
I'm sick of telling my southern softie friends that scone rhymes with gone - not with bone.

There was a Greek who said yum
As he tucked into a chilvers cooked bum
When he came to the anus
He said who the hell can blame us
I might as well have that, hey hum!

The only problem with a rhyme
Is that you do have to put in the time
But I ain't going to graft
I'm not that bloody daft
You'll just have to put up with a mime.

I'm on a roll<laugh><laugh>
