Outside the Box

Blue cheese doesn't appeal to me Food should never be blue! Orange and red and green are okay To mention you just a few! A man's suit should never be pink It gives off a certain vibe! It portrays a kind of different touch A thing you might want to hide! You be the judge, what about ice cream? Would you order a flavour called cow? Probably not, but you never know Could be the next craze after sow! One more thing then I really must go What would you think of purple fudge? Not your thing? Doesn't turn your crank? Just give your funny bone a nudge! Whatta about thinking a little less usual Why can't we step outside of the box? Like a body builder wearing a pink tutu Wearing glasses and knee high socks!

Ah I miss the days of eating Black Ice-cream with a fork and polka-dot slices of pink and red cheese with a spoon, Loved your poem, I will think of it every time I see a body builder in a tutu even if it isn't pink.

....realities too often be opposite ends of a teeter-totter (inside/outside of box)..... seeing a center-balance of mind be more important.....stans sand
