Sinister: poetry makes nothing happen

I read somewhere (was it here?) that there are four words in the
English language which don't rhyme with anything. They are
month
orange
silver
purple
This seems like an irresistible challenge - to write a poem with one
of the above words rhymed somehow.
- don't send it to the list, send to me
- Belle and Sebastian must feature
- semirhymes are acceptable (they have to be)
If I get two poems, looks like it's a Trousers-style competition.
Unfortunately I have no lavish prizes. However, I do promise a
beautiful hand-decorated tape of Tigermilk with a painstakingly
transcribed lyric sheet taken from the LP and toiled over by Tibetan
monks for years in the darkness. Or something.
I've just written mine. It may well be the worst poem ever written.
But don't be fainthearted, give it a go...
