What word rhymes with Orange?
It's starting to puzzle me
With all the words we use each day
To find one should be easy
It's like trying to rhyme 'purple'
Nothing's ever really right
It's like 'silver' or even 'month'
Finding a match is such a fight!
There has to be a word out there
Start to run through the alphabet
'Lorenge?' 'Torenge?' Those aren't even words
Why's this rhyme so hard to get
I can't find a single match
I've now wasted so much time
This is getting so impossible
I can't find anything that rhymes!
So what word rhymes with Orange?
This quest is getting really tough
I can't find a single word...
Syringe! That's close enough!
It's All About The Orange penned by Bella
Today I am not outside much since I need my beauty rest. My weekend play date with Sadie, an English setter, exhausted me. Sometimes I had a hard time keeping up with her high energy. But what fun we had chasing, pouncing, leaping and jumping with each other. Once in awhile I did find it hard to share my toys and water bowl. But what a bonus when her owner brought out the rawhide bones, my favorite treat.
