Colour Blind

Now I'm a simple honest man

And neither this nor that

I try to be the best I can

And call a cat a cat

The sky to me is simply blue

And I say grass is green

Things can be just another hue

The way they've always been

But modern trends do leave me cold

I just get so confused

Perhaps it's just that I'm too old

Or my brain's overused

When they say red is the new black

They make me stop and think

I'm really taken quite aback

It dries up all my ink

And then I heard that green is blue

And grey is the new pink

My eye test must be overdue

My palette's out of synch

I'm out of touch and feeling blue

I need a cup of tea

My senses need an update too

I'm just too old you see.
