Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Orange
Orange There's a girl at my school Who's called Lizzy Gorenje Which I think is cool Cos her name rhymes with orange. There is no rhyme for orange But don't tell Lizzie G.
Gorenje is a Slovenian name but in Slovenian it doesn’t rhyme with Orange 🤣

Interesting. We really did have a girl at school with that surname, although it may have been spelled differently. She pronounced it so that it did rhyme with orange, so perhaps she wasn’t Slovenian?

There is a famous appliance company in Slovenia called Gorenje, it’s like the Slovenian hotpoint 🤣 but pronounced ‘go-ren-ye’. Maybe she just developed an easier way to say it in English!
