At my age
should I really be wearing beige?
Perhaps it’s just a stage
I’m going through?
Do I really ‘do’
justice to
an oatmeal hue
without the barest hint of blue?
My ‘Acorn Collage’,
with a nutmeg hint
looks like borage
with a porridge tint,
Couldn’t It be enlightened
by a sprig of mint,
or a splash of azure;
would surely be okay,
to make my outfit
stand out from
the greyest dull day.
