I'm reposting this because I want to ask a question about rhyme. I'm wondering if there's a specific name for the type of rhyme taking place in the last two lines of the poem (e.g. steep and keep). I don't think this qualifies as an "internal rhyme" but what do I know? I just know I do it a lot and I'm wondering if there's a name for it. Thanks for any insight on this.

Rummaging around through a pile of scraps
I found a hat and an old pair of shoes.
A can of paint is always welcome.
I just need a brush and a sliver of canvas.
Here in my world I look for an answer
But first I need to know the question.
I’ll let it go by without a mention
And dance with my muse while you wait for a chance.
The cost of some magic can be very steep but
I’ll  pay the whole price and keep what I need.
