COLOUR

COLOUR 

I am a rainbow 

Sliding down 

Sliding down 

Strange concoction 

Of Egyptian dark 

And unusual green 

Eyes 

I am an olive 

With a strong kernel 

Flesh with a bite 

I am a rainbow 

Multi coloured 

And not straight 

Not so manly 

But very strong 

Beneath this 

Rainbow 

Stands a pot of gold 

This rainbow 

Wants you to 

Earn it 

By accepting 

Its colors.
