Orange is one of those words that famously has nothing perfectly to rhyme with it. The other one is silver. However, the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary does show both these words as having half-rhymes (such as lozenge with orange and salver with silver).

The principle of a half-rhyme in these cases is quite simple. Whereas a full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both words, a half-rhyme like orange / lozenge or silver / salver (technically speaking, pararhymes) has obvious differences between vowels in certain syllables.

if your trying to rhyme maybe put a different word instead of orange like "the orange i ate/before my second date/now i am late/i'll never find a mate"

Love flies out of the window

When I come through the door;

When I come in through the window,

Reverse, and pour--

So, partly serious, but more in jes',

I try to find rhymes for oranges.
