Mr Blue

She really appreciated his positive outlook.

And that he was thoughtful and kind.

He said he hadn’t always been that way
but he’d put being sad behind him,
and he had her to thank for that.

And, of course, she appreciated that too.

But what she really liked was that he was blue.
Literally blue.
No one else had a blue boyfriend
and, when he pulled up outside her house
in his new blue sports car
and she skipped down the path
in high heels (red) and with her hair in a brand new ‘do,
she just knew the neighbours were peeping
from behind their curtains and saying to their husbands:
‘There she goes. She’s off gadding again
with her blue boyfriend.’
