Very cool. It must have taken some effort to write something like that. I know some people can do it, but if I don't have a passion for it, I couldn't. I can't fake a passion either. That's probably why I am a home recorder and not a rock star...philboyd studge said:I disagree. Is it a perfect rhyme? No. Half rhyme, near rhyme, slant rhyme, assigned assonance.....yes. More important is the context of use, especially how it's delivered in a song.
Anyway, thanks ethos, I got my song done......and I needed another one with a little humor. California state historical landmark # 20. Target audience is 3rd and 4th grade kids as part of a presentation covering history-social science and language arts with science. This will be through Orange County Performing Arts Center and the Inland Empire Library summer reading program. Also grown ups that are into history.
NOTHING RHYMES WITH ORANGE
From the government came a gift, to Riverside for Eliza Tibbets
Words cannot describe the thrill, three baby seedlings from Brazil
Planted on a gentile hill, in 1873
They grew up from tiny shoots, to sweet and tasty seedless fruit
And to this day one still survives, on Magnolia Street in Riverside
Our navel oranges owe their lives, to the Parent Orange Tree
The orange trees they did abound, she thought she’d spread the word around
A poem of her trees she’d write, and get it done that very night
But her paper lay there blank and white, it would take a little time
To her husband she said “Luther dear, it seems I’m stuck, I’m close to tears
For no words come to where I’m goin, with my lovely citrus poem
My page is blank with nothin’ showin’, I can’t get orange to rhyme”
Ch)
No nothing rhymes with orange
It had Eliza quite forlorn
How can one inform she mourned
When nothing rhymes with orange?
Take the bull by the horns
To find words she could transform
Verse and prose she could adorn
But nothing rhymes with orange
No not a word she could reform
She’d made herself a bed of thorns
Why not Tangerines? She thought in scorn
Be the fruit that I had born
No nothing rhymes with orange, nothing rhymes with orange
Verse) How did oranges come on the scene? It’s a pomelo and a tangerine
Pollinated by chance you see, by our little flying friend the bee
We’re fortunate and quite lucky, to have the navel orange…..but

Black widow spiders and the Great War, huh? I think I will look that one up myself. Sounds really interesting. A plot for a good movie interesting.philboyd studge said:I wrote most of it while floating on a raft in the pool.
There's more to it than that though.......a lot of research. For instance, I got her husband's name from the 1880 census. So much I can't say cause a song can only be a snapshot and only so much fits in the frame, it has to entertain as well as inform.
The music is still not right for the chorus but I'll get on that tomorrow while writing some more. There's about a dozen left to do.......next I want to somehow move from an early adobe to a story about how the black widow spiders of Yuciapa, Ca. helped win WWII. They really did.....it's all in the crosshairs.
Binky! Doesn't rhyme with orange, but it's fun to say! That was priceless!dgatwood said:Top 10 things that rhyme with orange....
