Chocolate brown

Chocolate brown is a bulldog

chasing a mail truck

on the dusty ground.

Chocolate brown is a chocolate chip

cookie waiting to be eaten

on a silver tray.

Chocolate brown is a string of horse

hair waving as the wind blows.

Chocolate brown is a hare bouncing

across the quiet meadow.

Chocolate brown is a rat scurrying

across the floor, avoiding mouse traps

in the moonlight.
