My apologies for some of the text not being very dark – my frugalness bit me a bit as I was trying to use an older pen that was starting to wane in the boldness of its ink. We’ll try to ensure better clarity in the future. Additionally our scanner likes not to cooperate; so each time I try to share a project, it inexplicably decides to be a pain in the… tuchus!!! Thanks for stopping by as always. Peace and blessings to one and all! =>

There once was a color green
That was a bit
Of an envious thing
And it got it in it’s head
Contrary to natural hue
And prismal evidence said
….That it wanted to be blue.
It put on a blue coat
And acted as such
But it’s true identity was revealed
By natural law and touch.
Still it persisted
And despite initial response
It protested and insisted
That everyone call it blue.
It had blue pride parades,
It adorned azure attire,
And played cobalt charades,
Joined the Navy and the Ultra Marines
Trying desperately not to let
Its shade of jade show.
Little by little and one by one,
The other colors quit wondering why
It wanted to be the color of sky.
And as they accepted the lie
Sure enough, they began to think it so.
In fact, some became so adamant,
That anyone who questioned
Its alternative cue,
Was called hateful and intolerant.
More and more colors
Began to deny assigned intent and tone,
Till palettes and minds were cloudy
And the rainbow confused.
Making the Master Artist sad
That His colors rebelled
Against the purpose of what
They were created to do
And even though they yelled
And passed laws to enforce the lie,
……it still does not make it Right or True!
