From the Wikipedia article regarding the word orange.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(word)


It is widely accepted that no single English word is a true rhyme for orange, though there are half rhymes such as hinge, lozenge, syringe, flange, Stonehenge, or porridge.[9] Despite the fact that this property is not unique to the word — one study of 5,411 one-syllable English words found 80 words with no rhymes[10] — the lack of rhyme for orange has garnered significant attention, and inspired many humorous verses.
Although sporange, a variant of sporangium, is an eye rhyme for orange, it is not a true rhyme as its second syllable is pronounced with an unreduced vowel [-ændʒ], and often stressed.
There are a number of proper nouns which are almost true rhymes, including The Blorenge, a mountain in Wales, and Gorringe, a surname. US Naval Commander Henry Honychurch Gorringe, the captain of the USS Gettysburg who discovered Gorringe Ridge in 1875,[11] led Arthur Guiterman to quip in "Local Note":
In Sparkill buried lies that man of mark
Who brought the Obelisk to Central Park,
Redoubtable Commander H.H. Gorringe,
Whose name supplies the long-sought rhyme for "orange."[12]
Compound words or phrases may give true or near rhymes in some accents. Examples include door-hinge, torn hinge, or inch, and a wrench. William Shepard Walsh attributes this verse featuring two multiple-word rhymes for orange to W.W. Skeat.
I gave my darling child a lemon,
That lately grew its fragrant stem on;
And next, to give her pleasure more range,
I offered her a juicy orange.
And nuts, she cracked them in the door-hinge.[13]
Enjambment can also provide for rhymes. One example is Willard Espy's poem, "The Unrhymable Word: Orange".[14]
The four eng-
ineers
Wore orange
brassieres.
Another example by Tom Lehrer relies on the way many Americans pronounce orange as /ɑrəndʒ/, as opposed to /orəndʒ/:
Eating an orange
While making love
Makes for bizarre enj-
oyment thereof.[15]
Composers Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel contrived a nonce word rhyme in the song "Oranges Poranges", sung by the Witchiepoo character on the television programme H.R. Pufnstuf.[16]
Oranges poranges, who says,
oranges poranges, who says,
oranges poranges, who says?
there ain't no rhyme for oranges!

someone please rhyme orange.
:cool:

Orange has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant).
