Mood Lighting (Fun Poem 98) Poem by David Harris

We had a party once
and decided for some mood lighting
and we’d buy a coloured light buld.
The one we chose was pink,
but when we switched it on
it was brighter than the white one
that was there before.
It was so dazzling
it nearly blinded us all.
So much for the mood lighting
it was suppose to be a party
not a mesmerizing stand.
Our guests would have been blinded,
and would not have seen
what they were drinking
and whose hand they were holding.
We changed the buld back again
to the white one and left it at that.
