Traditional's, "Frosty The Snowman"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day
Later:
Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children know
How he came to life one day
Later:
Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Why They're Misrhymed:
"Pipe" and "nose" don't rhyme with each other. However, the words "snow" and "know," "say" and "play," etc. rhyme.

Traditional's, "O Holy Night"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;

In all our trials born to be our friend;
(later) Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise His Holy Name.
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;
(later) The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;
(later) Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise His Holy Name.

The last couple lines of each verse don't rhyme.
