Purple walls and ceilings
Pink window frames and doors
Bright green paper lampshades
With matching bright green floors
The fence around the garden
Twelve different shades of red
A sky blue shed with cloud white roof
Sits by the flower bed
Orange on the garage door
Inside a Morris black
Which seemed a little strange I thought
With rainbows on the back
Gateposts yellow Day-Glo
To hang a glittered gate
A broken number forty-nine
Had once been forty-eight
The dog had several coloured spots
The cat had pinkish stripes
And everywhere the plumbing went
Had multi-coloured pipes
The agent for the owners
Said the colours didn’t mind
It left just one conclusion
He must be colour blind
