Well I thought 'orange' rhymed with 'blancmange' - obviously from the french 'manger'.
Then I thought perhaps blancmange isn't in the dictionary, but it is, and pronounced 'bla-manzh' or 'bla-monzh' (except I can't reproduce the various accents), whereas orange is given the pronounciation of 'orinj', which rhymes with hinge, fringe, whinge, binge, cringe, etc, etc. And to get the meter, you just add an 'a', a hinge and orange, an orange fringe, binges on oranges, cringingly orangey........ We've already heard that purple rhymes with herple and I'll bet silver has a solution too. What a way to waste time!
