3. Door Hinge.
I first came up with that when I was challenged at age 16. Not that you'd ever use it in poetry or rap, but there you have it.

Then I read Kurt Vonnegut and he actually wrote it as a rhyme for orange in one of his books!

So let's put that myth to rest right now!

Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple.

Thank you, graywarrior, for reminding me. I hope your weekend is going better.
Cheers....

He had a baseball and a marker that was the color of purple...
