Rhapsodies

Today’s rhyme, “Send Me a Ribbon” was another one of those ones that was really easy to conceive, and because it was that easy I dragged my feet for over an hour. I’ve been avoiding most of the poems about colors whenever I get them because of the black and white thing, but for this one I thought I could make it ambiguous whether the ribbon was blue or green.

From there the only problem I had was whether to go with “period” (i.e my poorly researched pseudo-Georgian blend) or contemporary I went with contemporary because I wanted to have a mailbox. Unfortunately my main idea involved a Bertie Wooster type who probably didn’t even remember his own color code, and regrettably with the modern vocabulary of men’s fashion I really can’t think of anything that says upperclass twit.
