Poor Mister Pink Eye

Recently I requested my fans on Facebook to challenge me with writing topics. This one is for Brad Spink...

Look what I found in the archives! (AKA my hall closet). When Brad and I worked in corporate accounting he got pink eye. He was out of the office for quite some time and since we had pink posters left over from Valentine's signing I decided to cover his cubicle walls in pink. (Seriously he was out of the office for a while and couldn't shake the stupid pink eye.) So, I wrote the poem told from the perspective of someone with pink eye. Brad, being the main character ;)

Poor Mister Pink Eye
(c) 2010
Some people are pale white
And plain to the eye
Some people stay blue
And do nothing but cry
Some people turn green
From a sight or a smell
Some people turn red
Who they've kissed they won't tell
I like all these colors 
But I must confess
That pink is the color
I love the best
It caught my attention
It stuck in my eye
Now I cannot lose pink
Though I try and I try
It spreads its love here
And it spreads its love there
Pink is the color
