An excellent choice for the contest, although you have so many good ones. So do I need to rhyme both syllables for it to be a true footle, or is it acceptable just just rhyme the end syllables? You're fantastic at these, it's not easy thinking up those rhymes. Best of luck in the contest ~ Sharon :)
