• And Green was swimming in a stream of Blues
    Swimming ‘cause she wants to
    Swimming ‘cause she has to
    And Green was lost in the midst of Blue hues.


    Long ago, she said, “Blue, I have to be,
    Destiny is calling me
    I shall paint a rainbow of my own blend
    Pots of Gold at the end
    But Blue I need to be.”


    Yet Blue seemed too Gray for her alien taste
    She went under river
    Lost a bit of color
    Drowning herself in Blue-Gray waters


    “I am nobody in this deep Blue sea
    Burnt in all things salty
    I swim around and do nothing at best
    No one even cares if I’m Green or less!
    I’ll make no rainbow in this mess.”


    So Green was bitter when along came Pink
    Who recognized her sheen
    Who claimed to be Green
    Who thought all them Blue-people stink.


    “You can’t be Green! You’re Pink all over!
    And Pink is such a stupid color!”


    “I too am Green! Ever heard of Green-Pink?
    And you’re Pink, too, that’s what I think.
    You’re Rosey Red with thorns still stuck
    So what are you doing in this murky muck?”


    “Colour-blind! Don’t lump me with the likes of you!
    Rosey’s as worse as Pink or Sky Blue
    And for your information, I’m waiting for Rain
    Paint a rainbow for Gold I shall gain!”


    “I like you, Green. You’re different like me!
    You’ll be my first new-found frienemy.
    Let’s be Blue and Green and Pink all show
    Together, we’ll be our own cool rainbow!”


    So they bickered and bantered and laughed at Green jokes
    And snickered at all them boring Blue-folks
    And Green became Blue and Pink and Rosey Red
    And rainbow was there, but finished? Not yet.


    But all good colors must fade away
    And Pink’s now a trace in this field of Blue-Gray


    Back in shallow waters, Green swims in Blues
    Swimming ‘cause she has to
    Swimming ‘cause she needs to
    And Green was lost in the midst of Blue hues.


    But she has one thing to say before this poem is through
    “You stupid Pink! I fell in love with you!”
