Rhymes with Orange

People say that nothing rhymes with orange
But I'm not completely sure that that's true
sure some of the "rhymes" may be on the fringe
but I think they're close enough to make due.

What is it that constitutes a real rhyme
must the end spellings match or just the sounds?
I believe that I would waste much more time
If it were spelling I thought really counts

I hope my rhymes are good enough for you
I hope that they don't make you roll your eyes
sometimes they are a stretch but I pull through
I hope this is not what readers despise

Or maybe, perhaps, my rhymes would improve
if I used slant rhyme, which I do not love
