Although it is generally accepted,
That bad black is simply bad black,
While white gets to be goody two-shoes.
Something seems to be quite out of whack!
–
Black hats and white hats in movies,
Showing who was good and who bad,
Have an awful lot to answer for,
Promoting this two-sided fad.
–
Think of the horse Black Beauty;
What a beautiful creature.
Think of a killer avalanche,
With white as its prominent feature.
–
Although black-hearted people
Are generally up to no good;
Speed and cocaine are the white drugs.
Surely that’s understood.
–
Blackberries are really good in a pie.
Black is useful for conducting heat.
Black orchids are much sort after.
A black suit can look stylish and neat.
–
So what’s going on with this white thing?
Is light always better than dark?
Maybe it is, and it may be the case
That my thinking is wide of the mark!
–
I’ll just put an end to such queries,
Now that I’ve had my say.
Thank goodness I’ve little time for either.
In truth, I really like grey!
