Analysis of Judging A Look By Its Color
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Who has not yet,
Judged a look by its color.
Or stopped to compared,
That look with many others.
Who is it left not to scrutinize,
What is more suitable to fit...
Without attracting noticeable attention,
Unintended to do it.
Yet it given,
If it should stand out amongst the rest.
And done to pick,
As the best choice to make.
When one is needing,
Color to brighten up a boring and dull,
Atmosphere!
