The Blue Shirt

A blue shirt, that’s all I had
And a pretty little smile to make me glad.
Days flowed and came the flowery season
And to buy a new shirt, I had a solid reason.
I bought a yellow, all bright and sunny
But in my complexion, it looked kind of funny.
Then I bought an orange, in accordance to the occasion
So hot that I almost sweat and was filled with perspiration.
I realized I could not wear the orange or the yellow
But there was a shade which I still could wear
It was the decent blue……
Then as the spring to summer converts,
The markets flooded with brand new shirts.
A purple one attracted my eye,
And to buy that one, I told all sorts of lies.
It was quite pretty, what the mannequin bear
But too ugly it looked, when I did a wear.
Then I realized I could not wear the purple either
But there was a shade which I still could wear
It was the earthy blue……………
