Monkey, chunky, funky, junkie, and spunky rhyme with hunky: they all end with the sound /ʌŋki/. Donkey looks similar but has a different vowel (/ˈdɒŋki/ in British English, /ˈdɑːŋki/ or /ˈdɔːŋki/ in American English), so it does not rhyme. Some words share the spelling chunk -unky (chunky, funky, spunky), while monkey and junkie use different spellings for the same sound.
