The Boy Who Loved Pink

The boy who loved pink
must have caused
quite a stink
amongst all of the boys
in the locker room
I would think


he didn't like fishing
wrestling or ball
there seemed not one reason
to like him
at all!


he liked to paint pictures
read sonnets and prose
yet he claims he's all man
from his head to his toes


the family was certain
he wouldn't be flirting
with any of the girls
that lived in his town


so he built him a harley
they said it was gnarly
and it kept all the gossiping down


so the guys just ignore it
even though they deplore it
he wears pink
but they pay it
no mind
although their not sure
why he wore what he wore
they hope that he's just


color blind.
