Nothing Rhymes with:

ORANGE

I'VE READ FOR YEARS THAT THE
WORD ORANGE CONNOT BE RHYMED.

Is that really so?

What about this poem?

I WAS CONFIDENTIALLY TOLD.
THAT MY DOOR HINGE WAS
GOLD.

TO AVOID THE GRIEF,
CAUSED BY A THIEF.

I DISGUISED IT WITH DYE,
SO TO THE UNTRAINED EYE,

IT DOESN'T APPEAR THIEVABLE,

THOUGH IT SOUNDS UNBELIEVABLE,

MY DOOR HINGE
IS NOW ORANGE.

Robert Gee


U OOOOO

The same pundits continue to say:

THE WORD PURPLE CANNOT BE RHYMED.

Do you believe this?

What about this poem ?


VIOLETS ARE PURPLE
HOTCAKES NEED SWEET
MAPLE SYRUP'LL
DO 'EM UP NEAT
Robert Gee

U OOO

Two other words in the English language
have the reputation of being un-rhymable.

They are: MONTHS

----------and SILVER

Do you think this is really true?

Can you rhyme them?


Is it a coincidence
that all four "so-called"
un-rhymable words have six letters?
