A limerick that rhymes with orange The flower of fern is a SPORANGE This is at least the fourth time ( one, two, three, perhaps more) Someone's plumped for this rhyme So perhaps we should send it to BlorengeSeriously, what's the point? I think we must have used just about every rhyme and half-rhyme for 'orange' by now. Hardly original, what?  ---------------------------------- While it's fun to find words that don't rhyme |

But look at you! You're shaking all over!
Shaking? You silly goose! I'm just doing the Watusi

Yet it did cause the spider to flail
---(new line)---
...and lash out with all eight of her limbs.
(Gosh, I really m stretching the boundaries of what is possible in a limerick today. Apologies to purists.)
