That there is no word in the English language that rhymes with ORANGE...???

[Misty2u]

Where do you come up with these questions Ben?

Apparently it is true that there is no other word that rhymes perfectly with "orange". The same is true of "silver".

[USGold]

This is where you have to allow "poetic license"--something close to the sound of the word in question IE: orange-strange
silver---river?

Kurt Vonnegut, in one of his novels, rhymed orange with "door hinge".

I don't know of any word that is a perfect match for orange or silver but there are words like

Silber that match silver

orange well all I can pick another colour or fruit

Yeah, like purple

It's a cool trick you can do in songs that are kind of goofy, just whip out one of those words at the end of a verse when everybody thinks another rhyme is coming up. It's startaling and works well with an added musical sting (say, a loud note behind the nonrhyming word)

Just a thought.

I've heard that used in lots of comedy songs, Like the old shaving cream song...

I have a sad story to tell you
It may hurt your feelings a bit
Last night when I walked into my bathroom
I stepped in a big pile of

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

I think I'll break off with my girlfriend
Her antics are queer I'll admit
Each time I say, "Darling, I love you"
She tells me that I'm full of

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

Our baby fell out of the window
You'd think that her head would be split
But good luck was with her that morning
She fell in a barrel of

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

An old lady died in a bathtub
She died from a terrible fit
In order to fulfill her wishes
She was buried in six feet of

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

When I was in France with the army
One day I looked into my kit
I thought I would find me a sandwich
But the darn thing was loaded with

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

And now, folks, my story is ended
I think it is time I should quit
If any of you feel offended
Stick your head in a barrel of

Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

May well be a bit late for this, but i found this site to be helpful with rhyming and such
www.rhymezone.com

and even www.dictionary.com with the thesaurous (sp?)

I've used them both a few times and usually find what i want.
