Little Blue woke me up
with a mischievous smile.
“You are looking so beautiful
this morning,” it said.
“What happened to you?” I asked.
“Did you drink something other than ink,
or do you just want a treat?”
“Just ink,” it replied.
“Now, go and look in the mirror.”
So I looked, and guess what?
My face was painted
In black, blue, and green ink.
Annoyed, I asked:
“Why did you turn my face into a canvas?”
It just couldn’t stop laughing,
then it gave me a tight hug
and screamed:
“Happy Holi!”
