What Color Is My Shadow?

What Color Is My Shadow?

My shadow is grey I say! (ego)
Oh, but I say nay! (shadow)

My shadow is a multi-colored charade of jumping jelly beans
going along on clown shoes wearing stilts

It falls over in hilarity
Oh, but to be embarrassed!

I (ego) think I must go now
for my shadow has gotten taleer than itself on stilts!
