Beige

Impossible to understand beige
Unless you stare at him hard
Stare him right in his whys
Unless you see beige
In the serious beigeness
Of being its beige self
More than anything, beige is careful
Insanely so, really
Almost as careful as that shade of yellow that's afraid
But beige is much sneaker than yellow
Wants the entire everything to be as safe as yesterday is
Now that right now's here
You know how flamboyant red can be
Wouldn't last a minute with beige, probably
Wouldn't get past his secretary Ms. Always Light Tan

Beige even thinks that orange is a little too far out
The way it streaks sunrise and sunset
And just the mention of green and beige sees purple
Which also drives him into a rage

Course, it's only a beige rage
Not much strength to it

To be honest as lilywhite
The truth is that beige is anti-color
Unless the color is right
Unless the color is beige
About as average as you can get away with seeing
Is the gray way beige likes to have things being
