"door-hinge"

There you are. That rhymes "orange" perfectly.

3. That would be tragic
To extend the hypothetical, if my name were Angelo, you could say "poor Ange."

4. I suppose you could say "tanj" rhymes.
Unfortunately, that word is only in use in certain science fiction stories.

"Tanj" is an acronym for "There ain't no justice" that in the future has morphed into a word rather than an acronym.

9. Pshaw
Say a mathematics major gets possessive about his unspecified ordinal numbers:

"My nth"

14. Aw, c'mon. My last answer doesn't even count as it hinges on a lisp!
The closest I can come is "millionth"

15. I say that's good enough for me
And to return to "purple," I figure a police officer gives the future tense contraction "perp'll" now and again.

Roses are red, violets are purple,
Sugar is sweet, so's maple syrple.

7. Now for purple
I coin the portmanteau "blurpull," meaning a very fast pulling action.

13. Not true.
That's a half-rhyme. I could just have rhymed orange with lozenge if we're to get into that. Or silver with salver.

Nothing rhymes with orange.

18. Tom Lehrer
came up with this one, apparently extemporaneously:

Eating an orange
While making love
Leads to bizarre en-
Joyment thereof.

Re month, there's an old bit of doggerel from my college days:

Burning the midnight oil month to month
Raising binomials to the n-plus-oneth.

31. .
The Oompah Loompah's was orange,
As we saw through the cracks by the door hinge,
But his pure candy sweetness
Could not reach completeness,
And that's why we all hear the whore whinge.

34. "Lozenge" rhymes perfectly with "Orange"
