The Colour Orange

Funny anecdotes from an eccentric wife and mother

By Vicky RudolphPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The Colour Orange

The tiles in my amber kitchen are new.

His boxers now orange and not boring blue.

Early bday gift from you know who...

Could have painted my nails red

Only I knew, that colour would not do

Lighten it to the shade of honey dew!

Our kids love Watsits and Doritos too

Usually suplimented with a healthy carrot.

Recent addition to our family was an orange-bellied-parrot.

Oh yes, obviously I have a favourite colour!

Ranging from rust to burnt sienna to merigold. The Colour Orange

The tiles in my amber kitchen are new.

His boxers now orange and not boring blue.

Early birthday gift from you know who...

Could have painted my nails red

Only I knew, that colour would not do

Lighten it to the shade of honey dew!

Our kids love Cheetos and Doritos too

Usually suplimented with a healthy carrot.

Recent addition to our family was an orange-bellied-parrot.

Oh yes, obviously I have a favourite colour!

Ranging from rust to burnt sienna to merigold.

And although its all over the house

Never will this style grow old.

Going out of style is not what we do.

Even if my husband insists on keeping his boxers blue.
