Hello!
It's time for Team B to show their cards for Ike's challenge #142
The theme is "ANYTHING GOES" again, with optional Twist -
M O N O C H R O M E
Един цвят.
Много трудна задача.
Попитах мъжа ми, кой цвят да избера, защото всичко трябва да бъде в един цвят.
Той каза лилаво.
Вече имах цвят. Сега трябваше да избера едно от прекрасните изображения на Ike.
Това.
One color.
A very difficult task.
I asked my husband which color to choose, because everything should be in one color.
He said purple.
I already had color. Now I had to choose one of the beautiful images of Ike.
This.
Freedom
And the poem:
Warning - When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple
By Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go
or only bread and pickles for a week
and hoard pens and pencils and beer nuts and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
and pay our rent and not swear in the street
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
