7 Colors make up Roy G Biv

Whoever sold the art world on that mnemonic was a spiv

I do not say that he deserves a shiv

In his belly nor his liv-

er, um, not sure what spin to give

this next line, but there are also seven deadly spins

the principles by which I live

Color is this poem's theme

I seem

To have forgotten that. My memory is like a sieve.

Cheap Trick In Color and in Black and White came out the year when

also I first heard of Stiv,

whose album in that year, Young Loud and Snotty

was tinted green, a shade deliberately grotty

Given these non-sequiturs, my poem is quite spotty
