A musing Monday!

Keith's Ramblings

I was watching the sun set the other evening. It was beautiful. It got me thinking about all the things that are orange. 

If I was an autumn leaf I’d be hanging on to my twig, playing tug of war with the breeze. 

If I was a mushroom I’d be one of those orange ones, I like to think I’m a fun guy, even if my jokes are a bit corny! Corn is kind of orangy too.

Deer are orange. I was a deer once, well kind of. She used to say ‘do this dear’, and  ‘do that dear’!

If I was an ape I’d like to be an orangutan. 

I spoke to a pumpkin this morning, it was feeling gutted, so I guess being orange does have some disadvantages.

I like orange hair. They call it ginger, but I call it orange. I like oranges too, though they sometimes give me the pip. One told me to pith off once! 

Donald Duck has an orange beak, orange legs and orange feet. Not the only Donald to like a touch of orange!

I heard a quote about orange the other day, ‘orange relates to adventure and risk-taking, inspiring physical confidence, competition, as well as independence’. It was written by someone called Anorangemouse, no, Anonymous. An odd name! I bet he or she had orange locks!

All together now…

      Thanks Suzette, I thought I’d try writing down what entered my mind as it did, without thinking ahead or altering it afterwards. Literary perfection it’s not, but it was great fun to do!
