Blue, the colour of sky and sea,
has always really appealed to me.
Darken it, and it becomes
ultramarine;
lighten it, and it becomes
sky blue.
See what I mean?
In Oxford it's dark,
whilst in Cambridge it's light,
and flags, in the US and UK,
combine with it red and white.
To see blue pigs passing by
might occasion much laughter
until it is realised that
they're on their way to slaughter.
