I'm looking at you, Blue!

No "washable" marker,
Specifically Blue,
Has made me see red
Quite like you do.
It may be that "washable"
Means something else where you're made?
Something was lost in translation
And on my nerves you have stayed!
No Eraser that's Magic,
Nor cleanser with scrubbies
Has scraped you from walls
Or the skin of my babies.

And NOW...

It's really quite obvious...
Yes, everyone knows...
That poor little Sprinks
Has been picking her nose.
There is a stain down her face,
A Cerulean Letter,
Where you clung to her fingers.
But it gets even better
Because even her boogers
Are a bright shade of blue...
Because you aren't really "washable"
Like you say, now... are you?

  1. They LIE, those Crayola moguls! Have you tried the Mr. Clean magic erasers? They're not kidding about the magic. They are the best thing since Tide stain sticks.

  5. Love it! When my son was three, he chewed on a "washable" blue pen and it was all over his mouth and lips and hands for days. Your poem rocks. And ditto to Sarah's comment about wearing blue for awards week! HA.
