Orange You Going to Agree?


       I was impressed with rapper Eminem when I heard him say he gets "pissed off" if people maintain "'Orange' is the only word you can't rhyme with anything."

       Eminem says there are lots of things he can rhyme with orange.  The word said as a single syllable, no.  But if you "bend" it a bit and make it into a couple syllables, "or-ange," then you can say something like

       in storage and ate porridge with George.

       Now no one can tell me there isn't a poet buzzing around inside a rapper when he can play with words like that.
