There were crazy purple critters
Crawling across my nice green grass
Slinking, slithering, on their way
How could they be so crass?
To change the color of my yard
Into some kind of psychedelic mess
I wondered if it was the gal next door
The one who wore purple, I’d guess
She always seemed rather odd to me
I could never quite figure it out
Very strange things did happen there
Of this, I’ve not a single doubt
Venturing out, onto the grass
I couldn’t stay long, because of my asthma
By the fence, I could see her searching around
“Have you seen my dear purple plasma?”
I knew, there was definitely something wrong
I ran back inside, as fast as I could
No way in hell, I was touching those things
Time to find me a new neighborhood

Purple always makes me think of my Grandpa, it was his favorite color, specifically the shade of lavender.
