Polyp ends in an unstressed /ɪp/; gossip, turnip, tulip and catnip share that final sound, but polyp's stress is on the first syllable, so they are not perfect rhymes. The spelling chunk poly- in polyp, polygon and polyester is pronounced /pɒlɪ/ at the start, but polyester's stress is on the second syllable, so it only looks similar.
