O hell! what have we here?
A plebian tint on a watch so dear
Pink carrion's hue, on a vulture's bone
Who's empty eye screams "the new two-tone!"
Scourge of Chrono24
Circa 2024
A hue no pharaoh's tomb enfolds
Not all that glitters is tasteful gold
What, are you old?
Less valuable than weeping
Rose-tinted glasses creeping
Invade my troubled sleeping
Dreaming, I thumb my nose
Arrogantly
At la vie en rose

Actually, I far prefer rose gold to yellow.

I read it as a rap even better

Who knows, why you chose, to disparage the gold hue of the rose?

I see a poem but no prose, no watch and no pose.

That pink spot on your nose? Could be squamous, consider mohs.

Best to quit now, I suppose...

That's cool. I dislike it less on vintage
The rose gold tone of many modern watches looks fake even if it isn't.
The more understated tint of antique watches and other jewelry is quite warm and pleasant.

Have to say, you Canucks are pretty tough. "And here's one of our finest young women, taking a well-earned cigarette break in one of our armament factories" - can you imagine this nowadays? The greatest generation indeed.
