Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

Porridge and borage rhyme but orange rhymes with bugger all else in the English language.

However when you take into account local pronunciation of words, there may be areas within the British Isle that it would rhyme, Id suggest that you try saying out loud, both words, in succession in a wide variety of regional accents..

This also would be worthwhile for the guy that spends a lot of time on the bus, if nothing else, it will guarantee nobody sits next to you..

The closest I ever got to rhyming with Orange was syringe... then again I never felt the need to write a song where I needed to rhyme with Orange. In fact I've never written any fruit or vegetable inspired songs.

What the...is a half rhyme?

How can words half rhyme?

A half-rhyme is a poetic device, defined as "a rhyme in which the stressed syllables of ending consonants match, however the preceding vowel sounds do not match." not sure if that's exactly right in this instance, but the nearest definition I can think of.

Words have a measure of pronunciation that allows them to be adjusted to rhyme close enough with other words yet retain their clarity. For example, it's easier to see the two rhyming if you simply say porridge first then orange as in 'porridge orange' instead of 'orange porridge'.

The first example rearranges the disruptive consonants 'N' and 'P' and places them so that they are on either end of the rhyming portions of the two words so you can smoothly pronounce and identify the part of the words that rhyme eg. p(orridge orange)

So it could flow something like...

Went from poor to more riches, scored a pot to pee in, now you put your P in porridges, peeling oranges, that's peeling redhead legs apart and filling orifices, they're squirting out golden ornaments, pardon my piss performances....and so on.

In poetry, you utilise the word's elasticity.

Yes, they do rhyme 100% That's what variances and configurations allow. They may not rhyme the way you pronounce them with your accent, but they do in mine, and neither accent is more correct than the other. Like for some Brits, 'can't' and 'cunt' rhyme but not for other accents. So I still say that the correct answer is, it depends.
