[some shades of pink]
some shades of pink met some shades of red 1
and the pink showed teeth but gently said, 2
you are of the evening and i am of the dawn. 3
morning will not tolerate murder; 4
your day is the day gone. 5
red coughed politely and polite enough replied, 6
you know you speak truth and i couldn’t deny it 7
but as pink as birth is—evening’s a good dish 8
and all someday try it. 9
