yellow as the sunflower that apes the yellow sun
yellow as the egg-yolk that splits and starts to run
yellow as the school bus that takes the children home
yellow as the amber of my mother's favourite comb
yellow as canaries singing in the trees
yellow as the corn and yellow as the cheese
yellow as a swallowtail upon a summer flower
yellow as a lemon drop its taste so sharp and sour
yellow as the buttercups uncounted in the fields
and yellow as the gold that the rainbow has concealed
yellow as the lemon with its bitterness within
yellow as the jaundice that creeps across his skin
