Subject: Re: Rhymes With Orange

: Someone has brought to my attention the terrible plight of poets who are
: unable to find a word that rhymes with 'orange'.  

{Snip}

                            Ode to an Orange

O they say the rhyming's ended
With a word like "orange" appended.

Life is filled with mindless fools
Who parrot back their stifling rules.

Twist the meaning!  Lose your fetters!
Tintintabulate those letters!

Gather, friends, and take a gander:
Couplets that disprove the slander.

        Anorexics love an orange
        Binge and binge and then some more binge.

        Dramatists defile the orange,
        like that hack and worthless whore Inge.

        When he's pelted with an orange
        My friend Mike sounds like a door hinge.

        In a bustier that's orange
        Cher could make a monk's cold core singe

        "Straight," they say, and eat an orange?
        Fabio could make Al Gore twinge!

It's a cinch, though poets miss
on tougher words, like "Ted Leonsis".
