\nFrom earrings to bracelets and rings
\nShe coos at the sight of a mauve hat
\nAnd various violet-y things.<\/p>\n
\nAdorns her fingers and wrists
\nIf anyone’s wearing “her colour”
\nHer anger is shown in clenched fists.<\/p>\n
\nShe shines in French navy and blue
\nBut hyacinth tints and cornflower hints
\nAre the only shades that will do!<\/p>\n
