THE COLOUR YELLOW

Yellow was my colour
When I was only two;
Although my parents thought
I would look better dressed in blue.

I would grab at balloons,
Golden yellow like the sun,
I would snatch yellow balls,
Yes, snatch them and run.

The food put on my plate,
Was always much too green,
Oh! how I would have liked,
A dish of yellow ice cream.

I loved warm buttered toast,
And scrambled eggs were good,
But the thing I liked the most,
Was yellow custard with my pud.
