The poets of Nottstalgia are
A rare and special breed.
Opinions differ widely as to
What folks like to read.

 

For instance, a la Chulla, there are
Those who hate blank verse.
If it doesn't rhyme, it's a waste of time.
Needs smothering at birth. :wacko:

 

Philmayfield leans t'ward humour whilst
Beekay is more prosaic.
High-flown hyperbole's Margie's choice, though
Brew's no  time to pay it. :shout:

 

For Ben, a list of female names is
All the art requires.
As in each one, that son of a gun relives
His past desires!  ;)

 

When Tennyson remembers Maud, it's
In his garden, fair.
To Ben, she's rather different: big and...!!!!
Think we'll leave it there!  :blink:

 

In short, there's no accounting for
Our taste in odes and rhymes,
Save that Chulla will be muttering,
"They're not as good as mine!"  :Shock:

Phil, I’ve been googling, and apparently, ‘door hinge’ is a close rhyme for ‘orange’. The only exact rhyme is ‘sporange’ which is some king of botanical term, I think.

On a similar note, what rhymes with ‘purple’?

Well the current one, Simon Armitage, certainly nauseates me. He was on the Today Programme recently reciting a load of doggerel which was worthy of William McGonagal. When you think of people like Masefield and Tennyson, to name but a couple, he is insignificant.

There's also kirtle, myrtle or even spurtle or spyrtle as it was originally spelled, I believe. A stick for stirring porridge.  What's the betting Ben has an old flame named Myrtle? If she wore a kirtle, she'd be very very old indeed!!:P
