Assessing the Blues

Assessing the Blues

 

I see you and

You are not blue

Most definitely not

Mediterranean

Chows tongue

Or Maltese sky blue

 

I see you

In fact I can see

right through you

I hear you

You don’t sound blue

Most definitely not

True

Berry

Powder

Paint-box

Or duck egg blue

 

On the contrary

I can see and

I can hear you too

For what it's worth

I would not consider

yourself blue

If I was you

I would consider

myself read

              HaHa great play with words and brings a big grin to my face.

              Not just a simple play though is it. There's a meaningful "I've got your game weighed up" message loud and clear here telling "you ain't fooling me hun".

              Clever and shrewd.

              • Neville

                Am so glad you popped in today DA.... cheers mate.. N

                  Purples, mauves etc but true blue is the rarest colour in flowers - another rare write N.

                  • Neville
