Leon Wilson Poet Rhyme

Color Blind (True)

When I was at school
We had a test to see
If I could tell the difference
Of colors in front of me.

We all stood there in a single line
I didn't know what to do
The teacher showed us purple 
I thought it was blue.

Then we had another test
This time on our own
We had to spot a number
Within a colored zone.

The first was a red seven
On a white back ground
I thought this test was easy
But it got harder as I found.

The third page was so different
The number I couldn't see
For that page was full of dots
It completely baffled me.

My mate was standing next to me
He whispered number three
The teacher saw what he was doing
And said hey you leave him be.

The number there I could not tell
The colors blew my mind
Then the teacher turned and said
Are you color blind.

So from that day the colors I see
May not be quite true
If you see the color purple
I will see it blue.
