Perfect rhyme

A perfect rhyme is when the words' ending sounds match exactly. 

EXAMPLE:

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockleshells and pretty maids all in a row.”

Imperfect Rhyme

A half rhyme, slant-rhyme, semi-, or off-rhyme. It is where the final sounds match, but the stressed vowel sounds do not.

“This is poor Mr. Potter

Walking a road with his daughter”

Imperfect Rhyme

“Jack and Jill ran up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

Jack fell down and broke his crown,

And Jill came tumbling after.”

And so are you.

Augustus Gloop

“Augustus Gloop! Augustus Gloop!

The great big greedy nincompoop!

How long could we allow this beast

To gorge and guzzle, feed and feast

On everything he wanted to?

Great Scott! It simply wouldn’t do!

However long this pig might live,

We’re positive he’d never give

Even the smallest bit of fun

Or happiness to anyone.

Augustus Gloop

So what we do in cases such

As this, we use the gentle touch,

And carefully we take the brat

And turn him into something that

Will give great pleasure to us all–

A doll, for instance, or a ball,

Or marbles or a rocking horse.

But this revolting boy, of course,

Was so unutterably vile,

So greedy, foul, and infantile

Augustus Gloop

He left a most disgusting taste

Inside our mouths, and so in haste

We chose a thing that, come what may,

Would take the nasty taste away.

‘Come on!’ we cried, ‘The time is ripe

To send him shooting up the pipe!

He has to go! It has to be!’

And very soon, he’s going to see

Inside the room to which he’s gone

Some funny things are going on.

Augustus Gloop

But don’t, dear children, be alarmed;

Augustus Gloop will not be harmed,

Although, of course, we must admit

He will be altered quite a bit.

He’ll be quite changed from what he’s been,

When he goes through the fudge machine:

Slowly, the wheels go round and round,

The cogs begin to grind and pound;

A hundred knives go slice, slice, slice;

We add some sugar, cream, and spice;

We boil him for a minute more,

Until we’re absolutely sure

Augustus Gloop

That all the greed and all the gall

Is boiled away for once and all.

Then out he comes! And now! By grace!

A miracle has taken place!

This boy, who only just before

Was loathed by men from shore to shore,

This greedy brute, this louse’s ear,

Is loved by people everywhere!

For who could hate or bear a grudge

Against a luscious bit of fudge?”
