kj, a quick look at the list at the wikipedia {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_without_rhymes} will either make your day or add to your frustration. Door hinge does seem to rhyme with orange in a squeaky sort of way and oneth does rhyme with month, however little it is used.
Thank you for the kind words on my blog. I'm glad you enjoyed. Hope to see you again.
I woke up this morning and looked out the window.
ReplyDeleteYou guessed it.
It's still a jungle out there.
It looks like you have your own jungle. Words lookin at the window, never had that!
Hope you got your ticket because you are gonna need the free ride.
Thanks for the visit.
Later
