The most artful deployment of the "love/glove" rhyme is a magnificently dismissive anti-romantic sentiment in Professor Henry Higgins' mysogynist masterpiece, "Let A Woman In Your Life from My Fair Lady:
You want to talk of Keats or Milton
She only wants to talk of love
You go to see a play or ballet
And spend it searching for her glove
I can do better than that
Ahem...
If you're gonna love, You had better wear the glove.
thank you

Sometime past Mark wrote another column on the same subject of the effect of the limited number of words that rhyme with love
In that column written for a British paper he came up with one more word derived from what he called an "estuary English" colloquial for brother
it went something like this.
"last night I came over for a night of burning love,
we spent it watching footie on the telly with your bruv"
