so what's up with Orange, Silver and Purple not having any words that sound like them? It must be a coincidence, but why are they all colors?

wtf?

There was a young woman named Myrtle,
Who mistakenly dyed her hair purple,
Her dad was so mad,
Enough he had had,
So he beat her to death with a turtle.

I suck.

Yeah, I actually know 2 words that rhyme with poem, and that's one of em. I just don't let facts and stuff like that get in the way of a joke opportunity.

Up you xylem, down you phloem!

Ah, biology.

The other word that rhymes with poem is "proem" (preface).
