Pity Not the Color Blind
They Know Not What They See
Pity Not the Color Blind
It is true, one in twelve men see not as you
Reds and greens
May make them cringe
And pastels fade within their view
A traffic light surely gives them pause
But to follow the laws they just do
What the traffic light
Makes the other drivers do
Only four tenths of one percent of women
Are color blind like the men
They match clothes for us, matching ties and jackets and socks,
Where would the color blind begin?
But for sure the color blind see colors
They see not just shades of gray
Blues, yellows, and most other colors,
Make up their day
Just don't color code using greens and reds
And they will be just fine
And do not blame my wife for my socks today
Their selection was all mine.
