Gorringe. In his amusing book "Adventures of a Verbivore" US language expert and best-selling author Richard Lederer wrote:

It's not true that no words rhyme with orange . . . However, there was a man -- I'm not kidding -- named Henry Honeychurch Gorringe. He was a naval commander who in the mid-nineteenth century oversaw the transport of Cleopatra's Needle to New York's Central Park. Pouncing on this event, the poet Arthur Guiterman wrote:

In Sparkhill buried lies a man of mark
Who brought the Obelisk to Central Park,
Redoubtable Commander H. H. Gorringe,
Whose name supplies the long-sought rhyme for orange.

Other words that rhyme with orange are:

Blorenge or Blorange (a mountain in Wales),

Porange. In H. R. Pufnstuf, a children's TV show of long ago, Witchiepoo sang a song that went:

Oranges poranges, who says, oranges poranges,
who says, oranges poranges, who says--
there ain't no rhyme for oranges!

Another possible rhyme is Sporange. Webster’s Third Unabridged and the Oxford English Dictionaries both describe it as a variant of sporangium, a botanical term. Webster’s indicates that it can be pronounced as rhyming with orange, or as spuh-randj (stressing the second syllable), while Oxford allows only the second pronunciation, which ruins the rhyme.

Orange is apparently the only word in english language that has no rhyming equivalent

There is a mountain in south Wales called Blorenge (pronounced as in orange)!

Also, with http://www.rhymer.com/ you can search for rhyming words. Although not sure how good it would be for month/orange!

well, bumph rhymes with month. Bumph is a term given to replace the word "stuff", as in "there's a load of computer bumph over there". Really, the word does exist!
Now, orange, that's a difficult one. You could try saying "syringe" in a slightly nasally Hampshire accent and you might get away with it (not in Hampshire of course)!
Anyway, are you going to give us an example of some of this poetry that you are obviously writing? Go on, then ...
