I like words with slant rhymes -- words that remind me of each other, without an easy rhyme or reason.
Examples:


- combat and comeback - Cameron and cameraman
- paper and waiter


(Sarah: Those last two rhyme.
Me: Paper and waiter? No they don't.
Sarah: ... in my head they do.)


Addendum:
Drew Bear: "What about 'Walter the waiter who wastes water'?"



"Perhaps people like us cannot love.
Ordinary people can -- that is their secret."
- Hermann Hesse, German poet
