The World Is Round
Close your eyes and count one two
open your eyes and count
one two
and then green would not be blue.
So Rose began counting one two one
two
and she knew that she was counting one two one two
and so her eyes were
blue although her name was Rose.
Of course her eyes were blue
even though her
name was Rose.
That is the reason she always did prefer blue
because her eyes
were blue.
And she had two eyes and each one
of her two eyes was blue, one two
one two.
~ from Gertrude Stein’s children’s book, The World Is Round
