Apparently 'Silver' and 'Orange' are the two most difficult words to rhyme with in the English language. I've made many attempts in my head to rhyme with these words; and here is my best attempt so far:
Jack wore gold;
Jill wore silver.
They went up a hill;
and then they just fell 'ver.
(Come on - it works if you say the last line really fast!).
Any suggestions for 'Orange'?

Bravo! I would have never thought of that! Lol !
really good attempt, keep trying and you will perfect it.
I think you did a really good job, Radha...but I couldn't resist turning your ending into a slightly sad one!
Jack wore gold;
Jill wore silver.
They went up a hill;
where Jack took ill
and Jill fell out of love with him forever
Don't have anything for orange yet, but I will try! :)
Awww lotus reads, thats not fair.
i'll add the only version I can think of
Now Jack did laugh and Jill did cry
But her tears did soon abate;
Then Jill did say that they should play
At see-saw across the gate.
lets not rack our brains, lol, lets all go and play.
lol, sorry destitute rebel, I agree, that was a mean ending, will try to write another ditty to make amends!
Really bad at poetry, but I'll give it a shot:
I was down with a flu
so I had an orange,
but I was still feeling very blue,
so I had a ginger lozenge!
Clickable,
Hehehe! Not bad at all !! :))
Rhyme with Orange?
That's a challenge.
Innit?
Radha, try Ogden Nash. Prometheus is sure he could even make "month" rhyme with something.
Prometheus, it was your link to Ogden Nash that inspired me to rhyme with silver!! :)
Prometheus,
'Month' is not so tough-
The man with the lisp visited,
a speech thelapist evely month.
But he was so emballased by it
he never enteled from the flonth
Ok I admit, I'm lousy at this!! :)
Lousy? Didja say lousy? Gal, Senor Nash would be emballased at this sincerest flattery.
Plometheus is gleen with envy.
my poetic talents are better left to moi!!! :DD
Come on- give it a shot at least! Trust me there is no Shakepeare & Keats here!
Excuse me? no shakespeare here? well there sure is a shaykhspeara! Next best thing lol
So, orange rhymes with stonehenge. There, done.
lol
SS,
Thats the best you could do??? Arent you 'shakespeara' and a 'shaira'??
lol radha, don't challenge the Shakespearian shaira. tut tut , too late shes already did her shairi on her blog.
Thats not a bad thing at all!! :))
D Reb, where have you been all this time?
well exsqueeze me! lol
Ok then here's another one...
Orange and Syrenge lolll
well my trial..
One fine day when i was bored..
I had many an orange,
an orange after n orange..
N then like hell.. out it came..
Torrent after torrent..
ha ha isn't it sick???;)
SS,
You're still not living upto ur name :)
Diya,
Hahaha! Where did you come up with that? Lol :)
Well... fine then! (sticks out tongue)
loll
Ok, this is silly, but here's a literal rhyme:
The thing about orange-
It invites too much comment
So if you're for some shimmer
I'd go with silver
Meghna,
Hehehe...thats quite nice!! Well done !!
Hello here's my try:d
Saree that i own of color orange
With painting of birds of different Range
Although Love the color orange
But to wear a Saree seems strange!!!
