I had a light breakfast at 6 a.m.
Just a small sip of orange juice
Orange used to be my favorite color
But now that has changed to yellow
I was wearing my yellow sweater
At Jack’s Fresh Market one day
And a lady clerk commented in
Saying I wish men would wear
More bright colors instead of the
Drab grayish shirts they usually do
I remembered that and wore the
Sweater as often as possible and
People always seemed cheerful
When they saw me in it. I made
It my favorite color. Sometimes
People would ask me if I was a
Michigan Wolverine fan and I would
Have to say my sweater is yellow
Not maize. Some would laugh and
Others would call me names that
I don’t want to mention. Some asked
What is wrong with the Spartans?
I don’t know I would say, you’ll
Have to ask Duffy Daugherty. He
Was coach at that time. A great
Coach, too, I might add. Their uniforms
Were green and white, but that is
Not relevant. The fact that a yellow
Sweater brightened a lady’s day
Makes you want to do things to
Please people and make this world
A happier place. Yes, I like yellow.
