She Likes Green

She likes green so well, her whole house is one color.
Isn’t that boring? I ask her annoyed cousin’s stepbrother.
It seems that she’s expanded her horizons, added yellow now.
I see a green elephant, green horse, green dogs and green cow.

Where is the yellow? I ask. Is it in another room?
I think it’s behind the sink in the form of an old straw broom.
And there’s a yellow duckie in the tub, someone said.
I wish in this house she would add some touches of red.

A fun write. Year a go, I had a friend that loved purple. She only wore purple cloths. Made it easy to dress. Her house was purple inside/out. When she bought a new card, she would not bring it home until it was painted purple. True story. Have a great day writing away.............

She sounds like an artist - did she paint?
