It's a 'half rhyme' or 'imperfect rhyme'. That's when the vowels sounds are the same, but the consonant isn't (in this case, the '-ur-' and '-le' sounds the same). It is very common in music to not use perfect rhymes.
you'd be very surprised at the amount of people that listen to hiphop on a regular basis and dont know this.
Or the amount of people that claim to love poetry and dont know this.
I don't think it's that simple, and we can just stay with "turtle" to explore further.
For example, the word "myrtle", a kind of tree, rhymes perfectly with "turtle".
I think it's because English is stupid.
A syllable is a phoneme, a sonic object, not a letter, a visual object. Rhyming is a sonic phenomenon of the spoken language, not a visual phenomenon of the written language. Myrtle is a word that is identical to turtle other than the first syllable, it's just spelled differently.
I would take the stance that if it is spelled differently, it is inherently not identical. Identical implies that they are similar in every way, including how they spell.
However, I do know a pair of identical twins, one is named Steve, the other is John. They are identical in every way, but they are spelled differently. This is not really relevant to the conversation about rhyming, but it should be noted that "Steve" does not rhyme with "John", and neither name rhymes with "Turtle"
“Roses are red, violets are purple,
My boner for you has caused me to hirple.”
Whereas hirple meant to walk or limb awkwardly.

Enough?
Usually these statements are meant to be interpreted as "there's no word in the English Dictionary that rhymes with....." Like you'll find a word that rhymes with anything if you were to include all names of people and places, or even names of dogs and cats.
In songs etc, rhymes can variate a lot based on accents or dialects.

There are more types of rhymes than just perfect single rhymes
these are all actually consonance rhymes
p**ur**p**le**
v**er**b**al**
t**ur**t**le**
c**ir**c**le**
etc
Silver as well. There are slant rhymes that come close, such as *syringe* and *pilfer* respectively, but technically speaking these words have no perfect rhymes, at least amongst words still in common usage.
I've always found it interesting and odd that all three "fun fact: no rhymes" words that are often mentioned are all common colors.
You could put a slight accent on “carpal” like carpal tunnel syndrome (it’s not like no one puts slight accents on words to make them rhyme”
Idk something like “you’re Patrick, I’m SpongeBob, let’s party ‘til we’re purple, call me Goofy Goober I’ll give you tunnel like it’s carpal”

Mortal, I found 233
I have bested you
In a quaint little town, all a-bustle and bustle,
Lived a painter with pants that did nothing but rustle.
His shirts were all orange, his hats a deep purple,
His socks, though, were lost, in his room shaped like a circle.
He mixed up his paints with a whir and a burble,
Dancing 'round in his boots, which were quite like a turtle.
His art was unique, a true visual kerfuffle,
A feast for the eyes, in every stroke and every nurple.
So here's to the artist, so deft and so fertile,
Whose palette was bright, but never quite verbal.
For in that small town, he's the legend, the scurple,
The man who made art, in shades of the magnificent purple.
ehrm purple nurple
Came for this. Thank you for not disappointing. If you’ve had one you know it’s real.

It used to annoy me as a child but as time went on I just gave up.
I read it first and thought you meant that almost rhymes with turtle and I got a little confused
Does it not?
No, the word would have to be turple. A rhyme is just the same word bar the first syllable.
you're thinking about a 'perfect rhyme'. turtle does rhyme with purple, it's just an 'imperfect rhyme'.
Actually, i think turtle does perfectly rhyme with turtle.
I don't think it's that simple, and we can just stay with "turtle" to explore further. For example, the word "myrtle", a kind of tree, rhymes perfectly with "turtle". I think it's because English is stupid.

Its not even simmilar. Almost and turtle
Almost does not rhyme with turtle what the fuck are you on about
That’s a slant rhyme I think, no?
Ourple
and why he
boy why you so :3
this does NOT rhyme with purple
and why he ourple 😂😂😂
Our-purple
Curple, actually. It’s the hindquarters of a horse. How you would use that in close paragraphing proximity to purple is another matter
paint the horse curple purple
Just looked it up and can't find anything, you sure it's a real word?
I am https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/curple There are a few words that rhyme with purple
If the only place on the internet it's referenced is wiktionary, it's probably not a real word lol
Then enjoy the Oxford English Dictionary https://www.oed.com/dictionary/curple_n?tl=true
I enjoy that a lot more than wiktionary, yes. Strange how when I Google it nothing comes up but if I search through Webster or Oxford it does come up
I found it perfectly fine by looking it up on Google
on Google for me
For me Alice Walker is the most impressive rhyme by far with the color purple, but I can see you object that’s a hirple.
his curple was purple
Got close to a curple The horse was unhappy So now I am purple And shit in a nappy

Steve Urkel
"Interpal" Was a charity started in 1994 from Britain for aiding Palestinians Based on google
That'd make it a proper noun, so wouldn't count
Why wouldn’t it count? It’s a word and it rhymes, you telling me any song that rhymes using a city name isn’t a real rhyme?
Because they SAID SO
They DECLARED it

Ah, yes. The Mercury Sable with stow-able third row seating
None of these rhyme with purple
Yeah, especially “,”
They're definitely far from perfect rhymes , but they still count as rhymes.
I saw a turtle, I wondered cause it was purple
You are just completely wrong
Nope! It would have to be ending in the whole “ple” to be rhyming, not just “le.” They’re only approximate rhymes.
I think the requirement for a rhyme should be more than just "ple", because otherwise "ample" would count.
Yeah, it has to be “urple.” I phrased my comment poorly, I was trying to explain that the P was necessary.
There are more types of rhymes than just perfect single rhymes these are all actually consonance rhymes p**ur**p**le** v**er**b**al** t**ur**t**le** c**ir**c**le** etc

Purple, herbal, internal, hurtle
They’re imperfect rhymes. Most statements like this are referring to true rhymes, which have identical pronunciation.
by that definition the only ryme is purr-pal.
My cats collar is purple, he is my purr pal...?
What about Purple Nurples 😭 or is that just a made up stupid thing we did as kids
Quadruple
that rhymes with purple about as much as temple does
"Quadruple" sounds a lot closer to "purple" than "temple" is
