Orange is the first that came to my mind. Limiting it two one or two-syllable words is probably necessary.
How about.....
(she looks around her room, finding rhyming words for every item, darn)
How about "basket"
I mean, "Tasket" isn't really a word.

Orange is the most well-known.
Orange actually does have several perfect rhymes, though most are proper names or highly obscure/archaics.
Some other words that have no perfect rhymes are ninth, pint, angst, silver, wolf, and opus.
Rhymes are funny things, and the different types of them are truly dizzying:

I've got this thing that holds money
But I don't know what you'd call it
And I think it's kind of funny
That there are no rhymes for wallet
..or something like that. ;)

Remember the Happy Days episode where Richie falls for a beatnik chick? He tries to write a poem and can't find a word to go with "Purpose"
She rewrites his ode and uses "usurp us"

Valet works with ballet
Palate with mallet
The surname Follett rhymes with wallet.
And there we go. Three perfect double rhymes.

Service, surface, and nervous are the closest 3 that come to mind.
I'm sure Eminem could rhyme it....

You should add that one to the AmIRIght misrhymed lyrics page here. I don't think it appears there.

Somewhere in the board games there is a limerick thread. We used to do it by posting a line at a time. It's been so long since the thread was used you could start a new one I reckon. Or there is a haiku thread or two around as well if you fancied writing complete works.
