Blue
By: Mike Rickson
Birds Are Blue. 1
Skies Are Blue. 2
The Ocean Is Blue. 3
Eyes Are Blue. 4
Corrals Are Blue. 5
But So Many Things Are Blue. 6
So What About Stuff That Isn’t Blue. 7
We Are Cast Away Most Of Us Are Outlawed. 8
Blue Is The Most Favored Color, But Not Us 2 Through 6,789 Colors
Just Because We Are Not Blue. 10
Just Because Our Favorite Color Is Not Blue. 11
So Next Time You See Blue Look Elsewhere.12 You May Find Red, Brown, Purple, Maybe Even Maroon. 13
