The Orange Purple Poem
The Orange Purple Poem
There ye' are Maggie O'Shea
and so you are makin' me day!
Orange-ju fancy
With the new boots and hat see!
Now sit yer'sel' down
Ye' been all over town.,
Together we'll slurple a purple.

1. I was told by a fellow visitor in Brazil that orange and purple could not be rhymed in a poem so I gave it a try.
I used what I imagine is an Irish brogue to create this encounter. It is similar to one I witnessed in Ireland when I was about 13 yrs old.
2. Now analyze using the techniques mentioned for other poems I have posted here.
