It's a gosh darn fact that no single English word rhymes with orange.
The drab noun combo 'door hinge' might aid when writing a little ode to the orange. Lozenge, flange, Stonehedge and porridge are noted half rhymes to the elusive fruit.
Editor: What is a flange?
Marie: (in plumbing) a plate or flat ring bolted to the flange at the end of a length of pipe to close the end or to connect it with the flange of another such length..... 'sigh' It's not very poetic.
I'll just have to stick with my favorite orange poem.
Four engineers
Wore orange brassieres.

I love oranges, and I like this post, even if nothing does rhyme with orange...
You are so silly :)
Then there's the old ending to the knock-knock joke:
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
Y'know, nothing rhymes with scissors either.
Many times in my life I have been stumped...unable to find a word to rhyme with orange.
There are many words that have no rhyme in the English language. "Orange" is only the most famous. Other words that have no rhyme include:silver, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf,opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate. Then again, who would write a poem using discombobulate?
This is funny. The top and bottom postcards have orange-touting beauties on ornate backgrounds, and the second one just says "BELT BRAND." Just buy 'em already! :)
Do not over estimate,
The use of discombobulate
when describing how to operate
in an utterly confusing state.
Oh nno your orange ditty is much better. There is no ryhme for purple either. Are we colourist in the uk or what.
