Unfortunately not, no.
They almost rhyme, but not quite.
Orange has the distinction of being one of the few words for which there is no correct rhyme.
I've unfortunately as spent far too much time sitting on buses and trains trying to find a rhymes the orange! Sad I know! |

"nothing rhymes with orange
Sporange does"
Ah, yes...a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant) |

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.. |

On their own no they don't, but a lot of musicians, such as rappers, play about with how words are pronounced and said as a way to make them rhyme with words that they normally wouldn't rhyme with. |

"Please just help us out, do orange and porridge ryhme? I say they do she says they don't! We are in desperate need of help "
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.

"Orange has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant)."boom
Ps I googled it. |

"if you say orange really slowly it sounds like gullible
No it doesn’t  please tell me you did not try it "
I may have tried it....I may even have tried it twice to see if me having a different accent to you may have been why it didn’t work  |

"A half-rhyme I would say. It would have to be "porringe" to be a complete rhyme
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. |

999 is nearly 1000, it's very near, still not 1000 though, these words do not rhyme if pronounced in singular and correctly. |

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. |
