TRUE COLOURS
TRUE COLOURS
The colours
were having a drink.
Purple was getting
half ******
& looking hilariously more serious
than ever.
“It’s like I’m invisible! ”
cried White.
Red said:
“Oh, I don’t know...
...I think you’re a bit of alright! ”
“No one gives me a second glance! ”
moaned Grey.
“It’s all so black & white! ”
“You should try to be me! ”
blurted out Black.
“Typecast...that’s what I am! ”
“And yet I am
the happiest colour in town! ”
“I can’t help feelin’ blue! ”
chipped in blue.
“It’s in my nature!
But I ain’t made out like
I’m made out to be! ”
The other colours said nothing.
They had fallen asleep.
It was the same every week!
Stick a bunch of colours
in a room
& it’s
moan... moan... moan!
The artist
smiled
loved them all
just for being themselves.
