pink ville

she wants to
paint her bathroom
a hot pink.
a bubble gum,
pepto pink
and then
put up pictures
of poodles on
the walls.
black curly
poodles with
diamond collars
around their
necks.
she wants to
knit a hat
for the toilet
paper roll,
and have a matching
bath mat.
the shower curtain
would be pink
too. with
ribbons and bows,
cotton candy
pink. little girl
pink. frilly
and silly
Shirley temple
pink.
you tell her
no. forget about
it. here's what
I suggest
and hand her
the palette of
off whites.
