Hued Blues

Well well well, my cadenced fellow
shinin' disposition all sunny yellow
hued think, I'd be in the pink
but I can't see nothin' but the blues

I'm feelin' down, a bit odd 'n' strange
can't wrap my tastes around juicy orange
penchant you'd think, would be in the pink
but I can't taste nothin' but the blues

Flush filled up my new pockets all green
runnin' on sugar 'n' coffee's caffeine
you'd think, I'd savor flavors craved pink
but I can't palette nothin' but the blues

Feelin' a bit annoyed an' seein' light red
slowly tradin' 'live feelin' for feelin' dead
you'd think, I'd be bright in the pink
but I can't picture nothin' but them blues

Now desolate, can't control my disconsolate
I'm royally sullen, maybe violably violet
I'd be in the pink, hued think
still, I can't be nothin' but blue

Love the analogy you have depicted with contrating aspects of Pink and Blue-- very well written--
