The Colorist Holiday

now listening to: Hot Chip

Part 1


St. Patti's Day.
I am too poor to buy a green shirt.
There is no need to pinch me.
I utterly despise being pinched.
Unless you have a reasonable,
moral conviction for me not wearing green,
Don't pinch me.
And I won't punch you in the face.
Deal?

Part 2

Why should green be so special
and have a day dedicated to its color?
We don't have days for the other colors.
St. Patti's Day is a beginning to racism.
It is because of this day
that kids started snapping the brown
in their box of crayons.
Soon,
they'll start snapping all of the colors
and the crayon companies
will simply sell boxes of crayons
with 40 shades of green in them.
Preposterous!


shalom.

P.S. I don't hate St. Patrick's Day.
I just don't have an obsession with green,
And would like not to be scrutinized or mamed for it.
