Rhymes with Orange

Last night at dinner, I was explaining to the kids that not all of my rhymes are exact, because it gives me more artistic license (a comment which set off an entirely irrelevant discussion about licenses and used cars). We circled back to my original point and my 11 year old summed it up thusly:

“So, let’s say you wanted to rhyme something with orange–”

“Nothing rhymes with orange,” I countered.

“Would you use porridge?” she continued.

“Porridge? Uh…yes. Yes I would. Nice one, hon.” It looks like we have a family business.
