Jealous of Dewberry

lavender is jealous
purple screams in agony
because they have both spotted
the diabolical, deliberately, delightful dewberry

now how will they sell their own color?
who would buy plain janes
when they could purchase something with an exotic name

I shall be called purple-icious, purple decided.
you may defer to me as queen purple-icious.
Lavendar could not stop laughing.

but when she did stop she decided to call herself lilly-berry.
I am now lilly-berry, she told purple-icious.
Excuse me.
I mean
Queen Purple-icious

Dewberry never knew what she had started.
