Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Mind Your Paint

How would one find 
     The design of my mind?
Where would I start?
     Guess I’ll start a la carte

I’d have wallpaper puppies
     And flickers of flame
In candles of crystal
     The sizes the same

There’d be three tiers of table
     And tassels and tents
Now on my bed, there would be
     Sheets of suspense

I’d have rugs shagalicious
     And fragrance of flowers
With artwork of aardvark
    And three whisky sours

If that weren’t enough
    I’d have cocktails of cunning
Mosaics of murals
     That would be rather stunning

But as for the color, 
     My favorite hue?
Well that would be easy,
     A sweet baby blue
