Fruitless Poem by Aaron Marchant

As I was slurping at my porridge
I wondered what words rhyme with orange..

I thought of 'syringe' but that won't do
I thought of ‘a fringe' but that's no good too
I listed the animals found at the zoo
From aardvark to zebra via gnu
But none of them rhyme with orange

I tried 'lozenge' and that was no good
And 'blancmange' didn't sound as I'd hoped that it would
'Estrange' and 'derange' and 'Stonehenge' almost could,
but even these don't work as well as they should

And now, having burnt the midnight oil
Exasperated by my toil,
I finally have to admit,
that nothing is a perfect fit
for though through dictionaries I forage
There's still no word that rhymes with orange
