The big bug had a bag.

The duck made a quick quack.

I stood and stared at his stuttering steed.

Kit-kat, ship-shape, hip hop. What's it called when you do that? I can't think of the term. I remember rhyming of course, and alliteration, but what's this again?

Edit: Thank you, [personal profile] steorra! It is apparently known as para-rhyme or double consonance. English certainly uses it enough for effect that I *knew* I couldn't be the first one to notice it and want a name!

Also, consonance of just the last consonant is called Half rhyme.

As far as I'm aware, there's no term for the repetition of end-sounds other than "rhyme."
