throwaway poetry project, 5

when writing an old-fashioned poem,

if you need to rhyme something with "orange,"

don't fret!  it's not true!

there's a word you can use!

there's a part of a plant called a "sporange!"

in similar cases of stymied poetics,

there's something for "purple's" defeating phonetics!

a word from the Scots,

it describes the lame hops

of one injured in rowdy athletics.
