It Cannot Be Blue
It cannot be blue we insisted to the puma cub named Ki.
No orangutan ever had a face that resembled cobalt dye,
I am not lying said the cub, he has an azure blue face.
We pretended to believe him, giving all kinds of grace.
Then we saw the creature and we gasped in disbelief.
Around his eyes was a ring that resembled a Smurf wreath.
Is he a true orangutan we asked the puma cub named Ki.
Who would I know? He answered. Besides, I lie.
