The Colo(u)r Purple

Brandon certainly set us a game
When he asked for a rhyme or a name
That when set against purple
Would not make the paper pull
Out of scansion’s sweet frame.

Grape soda comes not from a cow;
tsuwm loves its color: purple.
He's really wanting one right now--
When he gets it, then he slurp'll.

all right, what's all this then??

obviously purple was too easy a task -- let's have some o-rang-e poesy.

Compositing Jackie's poetry and an old old joke (If buttercups are yellow, what colour are hiccups?)

Grape soda comes not from a cow;
tsuwm loves its color: purple.
But what he doesn't like is how
The darn'd stuff makes him burple.

tsuwm, are you old enough to remember a kiddy television show called H.R. Puffinstuff (not sure this was how it was spelled) that played sometime in the late `60s early 70`s. The kid that played The Artful Dodger in the movie Oliver was in this show. It was determined that the only thing that rhymed with orange was porange. Oy, I feel old now.

Grape soda comes not from a cow,
Tsu likes it no more, any how,
The latest challenge,
He's thrown is orange,
Orange - you glad for it now?
