YELLOW (color of insanity, fear, caution,and assorted fruits and
veggies)

Not entirely crazy
though I seem a bit insane
outside in the daylight
my mind runs clear as rain

Yarrow is a color
I heard the Asian mutter
"Hold the petals ‘neath your chin
to see if you like butter"

Bottled up my beeswax
sprayed on fresh perfume
tried to make some sunshine
put away the gloom

talking to a stranger
not the average joe
wait until you meet him
only way to know

ripened up banana
brown speckeled and getting soft
waiting for his perfect match
the others he has scoffed

whatever is the point here
how she did you wrong
your history's no matter to me
always the same old song

this color is not fade-proof
it washes out in time
you hang your heart out
in the yard
wind blows it off the line.

I took the test they gave me
found a compatible fellow
“Roses are red
Violets are blue
but my heart is
screamin yellow”

Im not scared, just waiting
Ive been around the block
tasted and been tested
faked out my internal clock

I will not be misguided
won’t buy into the hype
perfectmatch confided
I’m not the risky type

Today I am feeling ready
Tomorrow I am bleeding blue
Orange you glad I’m yellow
a bright and crazy hue

In the age of pen and paper
telegrams were few
not so many choices
you married someone you knew

I don’t need the internet
or guys to entertain.
so read my lips
just bring some chips
and I'll meet you at the train. stop. meet you at the train.

that was good gina, i liked the part about hanging your heart out in the
yard.

wind blows it off the line....or dies tryin.
