Silly English Language

Why don't these words rhyme??

monkey and donkey

teen and been

laughter and slaughter

sword and word

pint and mint

water and later

howling and bowling

comb and tomb

gone, done, and bone

blew and sew

prove and love

sword and word

Silly English language and all its nuances!!

Also, does anyone know what it is called when this happens? One of my word nerd students told me once (love ya Danny girl) but now I can't remember.

I want to add to this list, so if you know or discover any let me know! :)
