Many years ago,
I purchased my first,
Orange lipstick —
Usually, I am quite sombre,
Wearing beige, white, or black,
So I figured ‘orange’ would set me apart and be quite a lick!
It has thus led me —
Into coveting an orange jacket,
which I'm now wearing,
And buying an orange handbag.
I now see brands picking up the mantle
Of the orange love they're now sharing.
Autumn is the best season,
For featuring orange in its design,
I love the turn of leaves
But hate the rake of time!
The colour is also featured in the TV show:
‘Orange is the new black’ (OITNB)
I sure won't be breaking and entering
To wear orange on my back —
