This is what happens when you give an aimless young gay man in Chicago access to the internet.

Word Play

People say that nothing rhymes with 'orange,' but they're wrong. Just read this short little poem that I wrote:

I had a winter coat,
a lovely shade of orange,
and I ripped it when it caught
on the stupid broken door hinge.

This has been on my mind since I saw that children's show, "Pinwheel," on Nickelodeon. One of the puppet children was going ape shit because he kept saying words that rhymed. Hey, I actually think that rhyming is cool. Everyone should do it. But the woman who was with the puppet had to go and fix everything for him like Bush tries to fix other countries. She told the puppet boy to say a word that doesn't have a rhyme (orange) and he was cured. There's a rhyme for EVERYTHING. You just have to think outside the box.

COUCH - SLOUCH
TWINKLE - SPRINKLE
CHLAMYDIA - NAMIBIA (hey, close enough!)

I know it's technically a name and not a word but Lydia rhymes with chlamydia.
