Purple People Eaters Pursue Purple Peas

Purple people eaters pursuing purple peas,
Paraphernalia progressing toward a purple please,
Amethyst bedding, purple clothes, and platform shoes,
Purple violets promoting purple woodland hues,

Purple is out there in polka dots and stripes,
Chomping on some boxers, and purple baby wipes.
Amethyst pins, on purple fuzzy faux fur coats,
Purple veins, popping out of purple nanny goats.

Purple delights me, makes me feel beautified.
Purple sports coats, on pretty people, side by side.
Purple Rain, Prince’s progressive popular song,
Purple kitchen, where I am dancing in my thong.


Purple on my headboard, purple on my wall.
Amethyst in my dream world, twirling in a ball.
Purple squares and flashlights, a pure and simple joy.
Purple in a sailor suit, yelling out, “Ahoy!”

When is national purple day? It makes my world go round.
Where are the purple people?  They would be my favorite upside down.

Thank you Gershon. This was one I wanted to powder my nose with because I liked it that much!

I love the rhyme mixed with the Alliteration Caren. Very whimsical. I enjoyed this very much!

Thank you Susan. I have to do something fun to entertain myself when every mandatory weekly meeting is an hour or two about teaching reading, and I do not teach reading.

I laughed the whole time I was tossing this onto the page.
