Wrenched rhyme is a name used to describe a word's being forced into unnatural pronunciation--usually for comic purposes--in order to make a rhyme:
Although
he's shipped
To the Persian Gulf, her
Body's been dipped
In burning sulphur.
--Elinor Wylie
And pulpit, drum ecclesiastic,
Was beat with fist instead of a stick;
Then did Sir Knight abandon dwelling,
And out he wrode a-colonelling.
--Samuel Butler
The first of these is also a mosaic rhyme.
