Greeny Brown Look the Same

Green is not my favourite colour
from an early age mixed me up
so confusing in one so young
even when drinking a green cup

You see brown and green look identical
through my eyes they're the same
which causes many a problem
colour blindness it not just a game

My first job as apprentice electrician
really caused many a loud bang
mixing up these two colours so
better get out before I hang

Many situations throughout my life
these colours keep causing a prob
choosing clothes is hit and miss
what to wear makes one laugh or sob

If you see me down the street
colour clashing you may meet
but don't despair it's not that bad
rest of me is quite neat

( this is written with regards with my colour blindness over the years)
