Nice one! With a dropped 'h' - "door 'inge" - it's a perfect rhyme for 'orange'! not perfect. door rhymes with awe. The O in orange is assonant with Oh (with a glottle stop). imperfect rhymes a fine for comic effect, but need more care for anything serious. If it sticks out too much, it distracts from the sentiment. I'm sure Cole Porter new this well. He loved enjambed rhymes, it puts the flow back in.
