And with a hint
of white or grey,
but always keeping
red at bay,
she teamed with black,
her natural choice,
and only shade to make
her heart rejoice.
Though on the shelf
where pink stood out,
and caught her eye,
but left much doubt,
she sighed, resigned,
to what she knew,
that black her belt
and black her shoe!
And with lime green,
the shade of the season,
her mind, it wrestled
without reason.
And amber tones
of yellowy yuk,
were surely made,
but for a duck,
And bloody beige,
so non descript;
as safe as houses,
for those tight lipped,
But not for her,
that neutral shade;
as bare as flesh,
no statement made!
For dressed in black
when on parade;
no other choice,
was there displayed,
for elegance
or smart attire,
that would ever set
the world on fire.
And so safe, so assured
in monochrome,
when travelling in style,
to Paris or Rome.
With a touch of white,
if one may dare,
born out of desperation
and despair.
Just for a change,
to brighter be,
for the times when black
even got to she!
