Humorous Poem
Have you ever struggled to find a word that rhymes
Orange

Jeff Opperman
Now see the beautiful sunset ore the ocean blue
Fiery colors due abound of poems there are a few
I wish that I could write one, about that perfect hue
But nothing rhymes with Orange
Orchards stretch for miles, they never seem to stop
There nectar baring fruit is one that’s hard to top
A fruit that justifies a sonnet, but might as well be rock
But nothing rhymes with Orange
How do I describe a basketball?
Or the bricks within my garden wall
The autumn leaves before they fall
But nothing rhymes with Orange
So the hardest line you’ll ever write
One to keep you up all night
So please tell if you might
What the hell rhymes with ORANGE?

It stands alone, proud to be unique.
A few words come close: impinge, binge
But nothing really rhymes with orange.
Wait I have it, a solution
The problem is the English language
Use Spanish instead, la naranja
Or Albanian, portokall, it''s a nice fusion!
But steer clear of French, Latin, and German
And don''t bother with Scandanavian
The orange has been embedded there too
Alternatives are few, based on my quick scan.

"Nothing Rhymes with Orange"
("silver" is also a hard one to find a rhyme for):
A poet who dwelt on the Blorenge
Sought rhymings for silver with orange.
Said a shepherd "For silver,"
"I'd sell you my chilver,
and on ferns you may find you a sporange."
