There are a few plays to be had from rhyme, though most are obscure.
No. We don’t have J,K,W,X and Y, and we use H in a “weird” way.

cryme, old spelling of cryme
This quote is from the Wycliffe Bible, in the Book of Titus. Traditionally said to have been written by Paul, it’s now widely regarded as pseudepigraphical and composed by church authorities, perhaps even after Paul’s death.
For it bihoueth a bischop to be without cryme, a dispendour of God, not proud, not wrathful, not drunkelew, not smytere, not coueytouse of foul wynnyng; but holdinge hospitalite, benygne, prudent, sobre, iust, hooli, contynent, takinge that trewe word, that is aftir doctryn; that he be miyti to amoneste in hoolsum techyng, and to repreue hem that ayenseien.
Modern English translation:
For it behooves a bishop to be without crime, a dispenser (?) of God, not proud, not wrathful, not drunken, not ???, not ??? of foul gain, but holding hospitality, benign, prudent, sober, just, holy, continent, taking that true word, that is after doctrine; that he be mighty to admonish (?) in wholesome (or holy?) teaching, and to reprieve (reprove?) them that ???.

Yeah, no-one really cares about “national days” in the UK either. In technical terms we don’t actually have one.
No days of union, independence, or “flag celebration”. There is Commonwealth Day, but ever since it stopped being Empire Day it’s been more lukewarm.
Micce (fuses, Italian)
miche (a round loaf, French)
Moche (ugly, French)
