There are rhymes in sign language, obviously not auditory ones but yeah. And if they read lips they would know they they are pronounced very differently
Words in asl are all based on certain elements. Hand shape, movement, location etc. So if you are making the same movement in the same location (like tapping your wrist to say time) that can rhyme with something like doctor or nurse, which are taping the sign hand shape for d or n respectively on your wrist, rather than with your pointer finger. That might not be the best example but I hope it makes sense
This is underestimating the knowledge and conceptual abilities of people. They absolutely can understand the concept of sound and most can produce sound and a large number speak.

Really? How do words rhyme in sign language? Good point about the lip reading though I didn't think about that

But... Deaf people wouldn't know what a rhyme even sounds like
Yeah but in songs and poems and such, rhyming words have similar endings
Bomb is not pronounced Boom.... how odd is that.
