Pink Pedalling

PINK SATURDAY

PINK PEDALLING

One expression everyone knows

Is that French one.... 'Vie en rose'.

Looking at life through a rosy glow

Is better than facing the status quo.

And, surely, a rosy bicyclette

Is the very best thing discovered yet

For whizzing through life without a care,

Blithe and young and free of care.

Pessimists say, of course, at this juncture.......

'It's bound to happen......you'll get a puncture!'

LET IT RAIN!

In colourful raincoats such as these

A rainy day would be a breeze!

They'd keep the rainy weather out

And cheer us up without a doubt.

Wear pink! Think strawberry ice-cream.

Think yellow like a sun's bright beam!

Think orange! Summer juice that flows.

Think red! A glorious ruby rose!

Think white! Snow on the mountains high!

Think cream! The clotted sort we buy!

Wear purple and think summer nights.

Wear green! The forest's leafy heights!

And finally wear bright sky blue

The sky we'll see when the sun breaks through.

Whichever one of these bright hues

You finally decide to choose

You'll know you'll brighten up the view

Of all the other people too.
