Nothing Rhymes with “Orange”


Words that have no rhyme in English --
besides gibb’rish --
are, more than not,
a bright hued lot.

Why do colors vex poets so
(Well, just ask Poe,
does “purple” rhyme?
is “silver” prime?);

They work just fine in common prose.

...Though no one knows,
the word “orange
sounds like “door-hinge.”
