`Gladness.` It rhymes with `sadness`, but I don't think I've ever heard it used in common daily speech.
Any others you can think of? One that rhymes with `orange` would be good.

I've just been thinking of a prolific forum poster, and the word 'derange' sprang to mind  |

Words ending in -orn, like torn, or born, could work in a pinch, unless you pronounce orange as a two-syllable word like "Or-ange." Poetic license.  |

If we can bend notes, we can bend words; to fit the program. Dylan was good at making something rhyme that maybe didn't want to.

`Road` and `Knowed` Or is it spelt Knowd, like Known?
Feck it! It worked.
I wish I hadn't mentioned the `Orange` thing. It knocked the thread off.

A protruding rim, edge, rib, or collar, as on a wheel or a pipe shaft, used to strengthen an object, hold it in place, or attach it to another object. ...
is called a bore flange,..which seems to rhyme with orange.

Sorry. Frizzel's the one.
I'm trying to get away from `orange` and back to my original about words that are only used in song for rhyming purposes. I wish I'd never have mentioned orange.
