Color Confusion

There is an inability
to see prime colors properly.

This malady may cause tension
requiring medical intervention.
 
Is it green or is it red,
frustration swirling in your head.

Might be yellow or could be blue,
I know you wish you knew.

Typically affecting men they say
viewing life in shades of gray.

There is no total cure out there
just special glasses you can wear.

The good news is you'll be alright
not endowed with perfect sight.

If you suspect you may have this,
contact an ophthalmologist.

Cute one, Liz! My husband is a little color blind. I have to help him pick out his clothes. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Rhonda
