Slant Rhyme

Haven’t heard the term “slant rhyme” for years. Do you know what it means?
Teme for a lesson in prosody. Here’s what google’s AI says:
What is slant rhyme? With many different names – approximate rhyme, half-rhyme, near rhyme, oblique rhyme, and imperfect rhyming – slant rhyme is a rhyming scheme in which the words have similar but not identical sounds. Depending on the words used, this can be achieved with a difference in consonants or vowels.
I’ll have to come up with an example or two. These look to me like they match well enough to qualify as full rhymes. At least if you count only the last words…
