A TOUGH OF RED
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Each year when dour February days throw gloomy atmosphere minus glow, There comes a sudden burst of color, Things become a little less dull or At least we welcome what the stylists bring In an onslaught of shades for the coming spring The best bet so it is Said Is to catch you off-guard with bright red There's not lady young or old Who won't suddenly grow very bold, Feel that for her alone this color was made, You know that unmistakable bright red shade She leaps for it and goes to bat, The first in town with new red hat But red alone won't do the trick, There's all the tones from rose to brick, With dusty tintS or bright flames And called of course by tricky new names. Then down through the purpleS and blues And the so many different hueS. The feel for color persists, it rageS, A few go in for grays and beges. A touch of color towards winters close Helps to defeat few winter woes, So when dark February days look dank and dead That's the time for touch of red.
