Purples Instead of Blues

A limerick or two a day
Keeps the nasty old blues away
Why are they called blues
Perhaps some other hue
Like “Purples” would be better, I'd say

Just wanted to say hi. HI!!! Carol does read your limericks just about every morning to me. I thought about the "Purples", but another thought intruded. It was about a Purple People Eater. It was the people and not the color of the creature. This explains a lot about why I haven't come across many people colored purple. Sounds like another story to me. Thanks for reading my short stories.

Purple is a wonderful color! And you can't be blue if you're purple. Sounds like you've solved the world's problems to me! PS. Hubby has a PoetrySuop Site now. Look for Michael Eastman. Every morning I read him your cool dude stuff before he goes to work... He works a lot of over time and probably won't get to make many comments... But he and Grandpa Troll are listening... and I'm a reading. LOL! Things just keep getting better and better! PS. Dragon said not to forget him. He listens, too.
