Old Timer Rhymer Poet Rhyme

What's your favourite colour

What’s your view?

Is there a hue? 

That for you 

Will on cue

Always imbue

Your soul renew


The one colour

Couldn’t poo poo

Makes others duller

Wouldn’t eschew

Pure & true


We’ve all known

Tone is prone

To stir such emotion

Some say sky or sea


Others disown

The big blue notion

Shrouds of clouds

Lure of azure ocean


For me a dosage 

Of grown foliage

Honed my devotion


The most verdant sheen

I have ever seen

That magic potion

Tincture of Greens!


A cricket pitch

Without a hitch

Can bewitch


Bowling green

Billiards baize

Rays ablaze

Can amaze


Who doesn’t fawn

Over dew at dawn

On a lovely lawn


Passion pops

Preens the tops

Fashions any copse


Captivating thrills

Spills across 

Undulating hills


Don't need a permit

To be a hermit

Rest In a forest  

The colour of kermit



A tinge to binge

Can’t cringe..shan’t impinge

Only if flames singe

Would cause a twinge

Fresh from Mother Nature’s syringe


There’s no other shade

She’s sprayed

Life conveyed

Jade dappled glade

Strife allayed

Laborious glorious fringe rife

So dutifully…beautifully made



Not a skinflint hint 

Or skint glint 

Stints of prints

Of green tints

Like cooling Mint


Or the sublime lime

Of summertime fooling

Could be the emerald

Only Spring can herald


Or go full throttle

Embracing the green of racing

Or the mottle of bottle


Let sage take centre stage

Held captive by olive

Maybe Pea or Sea glee

Say what you see


Always classy

Brassy let’s call it grassy

Which is why

It’s a bonsai dye



I’m a verdant merchant

With a trenchant penchant

For this natural screen

Finessing..caressing & dressing wood


Glean a lovely keen sheen

Whether trees or Pease pud

That could have only ever been GREEN!
