The Colour of Day

Today, the day has been like my carpet,
Gray and worn and flat,
It has lost its colour,
It has not rained,
A tired and miserly day.

But on my carpet I sit with you,
And between us there is Ludo.
Now I will be green and you will be blue,
We will eat pink marshmallows with red wine,
And that is all the colour I will need,
Today.
