I Am Yellow

I am a butter cup
From which you can drink 
Perhaps I’m the sun
that makes you blink

Even when I’m blue
Inside I am yellow
After all my friend
I’m perfectly mellow

For Andrea Deitrich’s Imagine yourself as a colour contest,

loved this one! What were the words to that song? "Call me mellow yellow..." I digress. Best wishes with this poem in the contest, Sara
