    Oh bother - I've just remembered "orange" is the only word in English that doesn't have any rhymes ... :mrgreen:

    Roses are red
    Violets are purple
    Orange doesn't rhyme
    But neither does ...

    Red is the rose
    Perfumed the freesia
    Rhyming with "mauve"
    Is not any easier.

    Red is the rose
    And rhyming with "mauve"
    No flower, but it grows.
    How about "grove?

    Democrats blue
    If You Know Who wins
    We’re all in the poo!
  • Here in these parts
    the word "mauve"
    rhymes with another word
    namely suave.
  • We could have a war
    about how words should sound
    But no-one can score
    when language is defined by usage

    No. It's not rhotic here. Neither is.
  • Don's face is orange
    Is he pooping his pants?

    Amazing the things
    One learns on the Ship.

    A bit more jolly.

    Here in the UK on Radio 4 this morning they were talking about cards you can get to congratulate someone who's getting The Vaccine. The suggestions for the words therein included this one:

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I know you wanted Pfizer
    But you're at the back of the queue.

    (Note they're not my words - I take a bit more care with the scansion. :wink: )
