MELLOW YELLOW
me no like blue bananas
I don't like green cream cheese
he don't like red pyjamas
she don't like purple bees
me don't like pink elephants
I don't like orange apes
he don't like candy stripe tent
she don't like rainbow grapes
me do like yellow muffins
I do like yellow buns
he do like yellow custard
she do like yellow suns
we love you mellow yellow
yellow yellow yellow...

Love it to bits - a defiant incantation. BUT
ReplyDeletewhy all the greengrocers' apostrophes?
all that technicolor rejection makes that juanty yellow just that much jauntier. Well done.
ReplyDeleteOnly one word for it - jaunty!
ReplyDeleteAnd I do like terse verse.
ReplyDeleteThanks Viv, I've corrected them, I do get a bit carried away with myself sometimes, don't I.
