How Yellow was Made

How Yellow was Made

Once upon a time -

When Time itself was new
-
There lived an old God,
Who was bored of boring Blue
.

When He made the oceans,

'Big and Blue', he thought,

While sitting knitting skies,

He used the Blue a lot
.

Now Blue was old and bored Him

Though Red and Green were good
,
But He wanted something fresh -

Something cheerful while he could
.

On a Green hill he sat,
And thought of petals bright,
And of breeze and of bliss,

And of the Red of twilight.


And so came to be Be

A dancing flower of Daffodil;

He created with his thoughts -

Yellow on a Green hill!


So content He was that day,

So blissful and so happy,

That dancing yellow daffodils,

Are Godly and will always be.
