The Important Decision
Lisa had an important decision
The house was built from foundation to attic
And plants were chosen for the front
And yet, no paint for the outside had been chosen
Lisa had to choose, her husband was busy
Her sister liked blue, her brother red
Her mother likes yellow, her mother-in-law green
No one had the same color, leaving Lisa in a tizzy
She loved all colors, but her husband said only one
One color to decorate her forever home
It was a very difficult decision to make
But that was the decision, colorful Lisa was left
But the color was not her only worry
She owed her sister money, and her brother had bought her car
She loved her mother and did not want to argue with her mother-in-law
So she was left wringing her hands, trying not to offend
Lisa herself was prone to bright purple or pink, maybe?
She almost decided on one of those, but thought again
Then so as not to offend any family, recent addition or not
Lisa settled for Gray
