Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

But it is Weird for These Times

Pink mushroom guy was a dancer, a dreamer called Dilly Dally Dew.
He loved fuchsia, purple, lavender, and pink of every shade and hue.
Why does he insist on those colors? His dad asked, irritated a bit.
Pink was the color for boys in Victorian days, said his wife, Mrs. Whit.

Daddy looked it up, for it was difficult to believe, but it was true.
In the Victorian days, the prominent color for girls was a light sky blue.
But it is weird for these times Dilly Dally Dew’s daddy said to Mrs. Whit.
He loves pink, his wife told him. Don’t make a huge deal out of it.
