Yellow Book

Oh my
it is a yellow book
it makes me happy
because it is yellow
I have no idea
what’s inside it
but if it’s as yellow
on the inside
as it is
on the outside
I shall be pleased

But there’s also a bit
of green on the cover
and that worries me
for what if the author
is doing a bait and switch
and the inside of the book
is more green than yellow?
I am very concerned

And what if the inside
of the book is red?
There’s no red on
the cover at all
but what if the cover
is lying to me?
What on earth am I
supposed to do then?

I’m going to have
to trust that the
inside of the book will
be as yellow as possible
and prepare to send
many angry protest letters
if it isn’t
