You said "words", so I think I can do it; I'm going for Poet Laureate with this one:
The bellringer from Lincoln wore purple
And was paid by the mile, hour and per pull
...
(still working on the rest)

Hirple is a British word, which means to walk lamely or hobble,curple another name for the buttocks, in scottish.
Exact as in link
The following is a list of English words without rhymes, i.e. a list of words in the English language which rhyme with no other English words in the sense that they are pronounced in the same way from the vowel sound of the main stressed syllable onwards.
It is sometimes said that the words orange, purple, and silver are the only words which rhyme with no other words. However, the words sporange, curple(another name for the buttocks, in scottish, the word for the hindquarters of a horse, Hirple is a British word, which means to walk lamely or hobble), and chilver have been cited as rhymes for these words. That is not to say that there are no rhymeless words, however; there are in fact many, including such words as marathon and discombobulate. If one restricts the list to words of just one or two syllables, however, the list is fairly short.

To my knowledge purple is one of the few words in the English language that nothing rhymes with. I'm sure I heard that at one point, must be true cuz I can't think of any "real" words that rhyme with it!
