What Color Are They

They come in many colors
 like red, yellow, and blue.
Though not all are colored
 there's plain white ones too!

There are pink ones and green ones
 and purple and gray
so many colors
 what can I say!

Some are embroidered
 with each day of the week.
Some are plain cotton
 some transparent and sheik.

The ones that you choose
 depends a great deal
on where you are going
 and just how you feel.

If you catch a cold
 and your nose starts to run
and your eyes start to water
 its really no fun.

Its then that you need some -
 ones made of paper I'ld say
'cause after you use one
 you just throw it away.

But I hope in your case
 they are rarely a must
and you don't have to need one
 too often I trust.

But if you do
 there's two options to use
a TISSUE or HANKY -
 which do you choose?

So keep them real handy
 cause need them you might.
If you do does it matter
 if they're colored or white?
