The wall of our hall is ever so small

but the colour has to be right

lit by natural means by day

or a shaded bulb by night.

The colour has to be bright yet subtle

enough that would simply show off a mirror

the centrepiece of the wall of the hall

which though small is what welcomes you into the house. 

 

The decision's been made, plans have been laid

we've simply chosen the perfect shade

for both of us to agree as ever

that my choice of a wife was ever so clever

for a man about the spouse.
