Its so true Christopher I nearly always put an extra few layers in my poem, very very few people see them, but I don't mind explaining if I'm asked

Heya clever clogs, your on the money Jenna, ok works this way most people see black and white, but the scientists say zebras are black with white stripes, lions are indeed Color blind and Color blind animals cannot see red, so the lions figuratively see red and make themselves dinner, phew these monokus are hard work lol, cheers David
