Alan .S. Jeeves

His Coat of Many Colours

His coat has many colours,

Joseph is his name;

Although some call him \'Joey\'

It\'s Joseph just the same.

 

The collar on his cloak

Is such a vibrant red;

From his shoulders to his pointy chin

It goes right to his head.

 

The nether of this robe

Has hues of greens and blues

From his chubby rounded waist

To his rugged grey-black shoes.

 

His sleeves are speckled yellow,

A dazzling golden shade;

And silver sprays within the fold ~

Delightful how they\'re made.

 

Bright scarlet and vermilion

Make threads of coloured joy;

For, Joey is a parrot

And \'e\'s a pretty boy
