There are no single words that are perfect rhymes with those words. However.
Consider the following:
The orange door hinge.
Her bull was purple.
Don't pilfer the silver. (Actually, I feel this is a perfect rhyme.
I think there are some purists who argue that you only rhyme one
syllable of a two syllable word. So either silfer or pilver, but not
pilfer.)
"Month" is much more difficult. (I wrote a kid's story, unpublished
yet, where a kid with a lisp says 'onth I knew a rhyme for month."
