Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Pink Leggings With a Red Shirt

Pink leggings with a red shirt?
She said it in a mean way with her mouth curled up.
YES! I agreed, a happy smile on my face.
She tried saying it in a different mean way.
“Pink leggings with a RED SHIRT?”
“Of course,” I said, spinning around so she could see me better.
She tried again.
“Pink and red, red and pink!”  I sang cheerfully.
I made a whole song about it.
Sang it proudly and loudly.
She left in the middle of verse six.

L Milton Hankins May 24, 2021 at 2:05 PM Funny. Deb and I frequently argued over pink and red can go together. I said yea; she said nay, so I stopped wearing them that way! Just kidding, of course. I still wear them together. Caren Krutsinger May 25, 2021 at 6:39 AM I know you do!

Ilene Bauer May 24, 2021 at 11:52 AM ha! this reminds me of a teacher i had in elementary school who criticized me for using pink and purple together in a project (it might have been colorforms - remember those?). she told me they didn't match. i still love that combination... Caren Krutsinger May 25, 2021 at 6:39 AM I love that combo too!
