Chalk It Up

The call of the wild did exist on that planet. It had its seasons. Mirrors became the color of despair--silver. Animal cries were grayish lemon. Examples done up in pink. There was the robot blue. And, oh, the lime, like love. One person tried to package it and sell it to the schools. Quite a bundle was made before the next busy trend, the next futile orange.

Handwriting changed there. Each word was a little island. It looked green with garnet brilliance. The words described the planet a little fancier than it actually was but also a little duller. How could that be? Go figure! was a popular saying there, one of compassion without the grit.
