Does anything rhyme with Canada?

Thanks soz, I have said the same thing for years and just got strange looks from my friends, damn its good to be right.

dore hinge

Nah.

People...

Sublime = Chicago = Midwest.

Me = MinnesotawisconsinillinoisohiowellsortabutI'mdeafsamediff = Midwest.

Midwesterners say or-inge.

In the Midwest, there is a rhyme for orange. Case closed.

(Yes, I've seen "Fargo", why do you ask?)

Once in a flophouse in Canada,
A Massachusetts sen-a-tah
Found a squeaky door hinge
Rusty and or-inge ...
He checked out and into Ramada.

Oh, yeah ... BurmaShave.

Not to mention, Alka Seltzer.

Slings & arrows ... sigh.

That don't rhyme with Canada or orange, Whooda.

Man o' da year ?

How about "The Banana of Canada" or "The kaka of Canada" or "The papa of Canada" or "Babba from Canada" or " Babba took a kakka in Canada."
You have to be imaginative.

There was a wholistic farmer from Canada
Whose wife was stricken with scurvy
He tried to grow citrus on the land o' the
permafrost soil, hard and curvy

Instead of buying vitamin C at the drug store
(less than one point six one kilometres from his home)
He tried to grow lemons and more
on tundra softened with loam

You could say he'd missed by a mile
By the time he tried to grow oranges
but judging from his wife's British smile
I say you'd have to add four inches

Well, you tried.

Stickler!

Here, Israelis make orange juice
as do other foreign Jews
They take a four-inch orange
and crush it 'tween a door hinge

I think I'll stop now.

It's fun. Feel free to go ahead with more.

Edgar Blythe will aver
that with nil, rhymes silver
Fat Angela (no sylph, her)
with that and orange, would concur.

Purists each, such that rhyme
allows no room at any time
for regional accents from Concord to Lyme
or foreign words from warmer climes.

Pity that, 'cause then for Canada
Ed would find that nothing can matta,
in changing his mind. Nothing can? Nada.
French in the south might say yes. A Cannes nod, huh?

And woe to Ange, and her rejection of door hinge
as a suitable rhyme to the venerable orange.
If either could budge by a foot or inch
what poetic joy I could bring to Ed or Ange.

Bravo to Valpower!!!!

To find a word that rhymes with Canada
I need to tour from here to Gren'ada
seeing beach and hills and grassy terrain
looking for rhymes for two cents plain.

I love when March brings the stores oranges
so much that I think of starting forages
for citrus peels and movie reels, to run spots
in theaters, lined with peas porridge hots.

Okay, okay, it needs work.

There are legitemate poems that use near rhymes, aren't there?

Modern lyrics definitely use false rhymes, and so far the new avenues opened by them have been refreshing to the ear, IMO. There are exceptions of course; Country has been quick to find new ways to write about Jesus (Tim McGraw: "...where the road will lead us, to drugs or Jesus..."). Pulleasus!

But your question reminds me of Jimmy Webb, who in about an hour and a half wrote "Wichita Lineman" while Glen Campbell was visiting the record company Webb was staff writing for. He told Campbell he would fix this rhyme scheme later to make it a true rhyme:

"And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time.
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line."

Campbell said he liked it, and the rest is history. No matter where Webb goes, he meets people who tell him how much those two lines have touched them. Matched with the plaintive melody behind it, I fully agree.
