Orange

Nothing rhymes with orange, apparently.
To the naked eye I find that strange,
for on the screen there's quite a range.

What about the cash that you want to exchange? 

Or the beautiful flowers that you need to arrange?

What about the lifestyle you vowed to change?

Or that goal you scored against Drayton Grange? 

Nothing rhymes with orange, so I've heard

from pedantic prats who do nothing but whinge.

My ears disagree and find it absurd.

What about the water with an orange tinge?

Or the creaky door that fell off its hinge? 

What about the woman with the ginger fringe?

Or that stupid joke that made you cringe?

So let's prick this myth with the sharpest syringe,
for orange is the brightest, warmest colour.
The juiciest fruit, the star of summer 
and the best excuse for a cocktail binge.
