so my friend says to me "I don't like yellow". "what do you mean", I say, "which yellow doth offend thee? you don't like lemon, mustard, banana, or vanilla ice? or maybe you just don't like the colour of pee?"
all of them are yellow but none of them are the same, you see?
I used to say I hated orange, I don't know why maybe because it refuses to rhyme
then one fateful day I found just the right dress at just the right time a shade off watermelon and a hair off scandalous ...
I used to say the same thing about girls I'd never kiss but that's another story I don't have time for this ...
now I'll never again say I hate orange or anything else except maybe Mondays and my Ex, but I tried those first.
Interesting one. Mingling colors and images. Descriptive word use, an original line of thought. Reminds me of my way of thinking somehow.
Btw I don't like orange...^^

This is a very entertaining & fun message that I enjoyed reading very much. I like the conversational tones. I'm reminded of how I'm often commenting in my reviews that people need to use more imaginative ways to describe colors, not just the basic stuff. I love your palette of yellows offered here! I used to be crazy about yellow & orange. I painted my bathroom yellow & bought yellow & orange flowered towels (in my 20's). I had a yellow car, then I had an orange car after that. Then I OD'ed on these two colors, so I never ever use them (except for the daisies in my yard, but they came up voluntarily!) I love this rambling account of everyday observations that SHOW us you, instead of explaining yourself (((HUGS)))
"Say!
I like green eggs and ham!
I do! I like them, Sam-I-am!
And I would eat them in a boat!
And I would eat them with a goat... "
Sometimes, you just have to try it on the right day, or in the place, and on and on...
Note: My neighbor has chickens that lay green eggs...at first I was a bit put off, but now I can say "I do like green eggs and ham!"

It has taken a while, but I do see the craziness of saying I don't like a whole group of things just because I don't like one thing.
There is an innocent naughtiness peeking out between the lines here. Hey, a dress that is a hair off scandalous is fabulous in any color. Girls you'd never kiss, eh? Well, now there is a seductive line! I say go for any color that makes you feel a hair off scandalous and try everything at least once....or more! :) I liked this one a lot. Lydi**

Yes, this is what I am trying to do now, open my mind as I open my heart -- it makes for some wonderful changes. The days when my wardrobe was all solid black, white, gray, and navy are all gone.
I used to hate orange
Never had a taste for porridge
Then I dated a guy named George
We were happy until ...
This fabulous fellow
Turned a sickly shade of yellow
From eating his porridge
With a month old orange
In a dizzy forge
He fell into a gorge
At sunset ... it was orange
His porridge was yellow
It was Monday
Tee hee. Loved this write. KL:)

It is rainy day in Madrid but I am dealing ... the rain in Spain falls mainly on my head:)
Oh gosh- first, I learned how to paint because my friend said to me- look at a lemon- it isn't one shade of yellow.
Second, I once painted my living room bright orange- because I do things like that.
I should've gone with an off the shoulder dress instead.
I paint rooms better now- and now I try my hand at canvases too!
Thanks for this one.

It now drives me a bit nuts when someone says that, especially about food or colours, or animals --- like there aren't millions of varieties to choose from.
