Creature of the Flushed Lagoon - mag 151




©Shers Gallagher 2013

You HATE pink,
stretching it beyond its limitation
and fitting it like the rebel you are 
of woolly BVDS.
I knitted you the sweater,
calling it maroon. 
But what a comfy form you've made it,
toasting yourself 
'creature of the flushed lagoon'.

  2. That is a creature of the flushed lagoon! Maroon's a bit of a stretch.

  3. TY, Mary.

    She thought so too when she was knitting it, Theresa. But will and desire often usurp reality. ;-)

  8. Well (ahem!) I personally might have chosen a color to fit my own personality--BLACK?--grin!
    You created perfectly-fitting words for the prompt. Shers, you are STILL "good" as
    always and forever....
    PEACE!
