Doesn't it depend on how you pronounce the word.
Phonetically, the "a" should, according to the dictionary, be pronounced with a short "i" as in win.
To rhyme with orange one would have to use two words, e.g. or and hinge. or hinge. I know many people who drop the "h" sound at the beginning of words and no-one can say they are not speaking English. The result might sound slightly different to the speaker, but I doubt whether the listener would be able to tell the difference. I'm not totally convinced myself by my own argument, but at least it's got some people repeating or-(h)inge and orange to themselves.

Obviously a lot of you don't know what rhyming means. How could Orange and Sponge rhyme? As far as I know there are no words in the English language that rhyme with orange, purple, silver. There may be a lot more.

There's NO such word that actually rhymes with Orange. Certain words in English has NO rhyming word, at all & Orange being one of them.
However, Orange could be loosely rhyme with "porridge".
In fact, Orange isn't just the only one, as there are many more, such as:
1 syllable words:
bulb
depth
month
ninth
sixth
twelfth
width
wolf
warmth
2 syllable words:
angry
monster
chimney
luggage
orange
purple
rhythm
silver

This is an instance where you might have to break the word up, which is usually pronounced with one long syllable (in this case) into two, for instance:
(Oh-runge) or (Or-unge)
When pronounced this way, one can find many words that rhyme with it for instance:
Sponge
Lunge
Expunge
To make the syllables match you could use an article adjective. Compare:
O-range
A sponge
OR
Or-ange
A lunge
There are many more to be discovered!
Isn't rhyming fun? :)
Ok, since people are attacking me, i'm making an edit. People who make aboslute negative statements have NO imagination. (and/or didn't even bother reading my whole post) In Poetry you are given something called poetic license, you are permitted to make small changes in words to fit your needs. Pronounced (Or-UNge) it can work, as there are many words that rhyme with the second syllable, unge. All you have to do is fill the first syllable and it is a type of rhyme... most certainly it is.
"With a lunge, I caught the Orange (Or-UNge)"
It works!
Think positive, people!
