Carpet Color Names
One time I worked at a carpet store. Here’s a poem composed entirely of the names they used for carpet colors.
.
Stingray tapdance malted thunderbolt.
Diffused light winfield landslide
thunderbolt raffia.
Tapdance rococo beige.
.
Topgun ryetoast
royale fashion place wicker.
Success chocolate.
Tender grey upbeat mushroom.
.
Soft nutmeg summer smoke
monk’s hood bushwhacked cloudswept paperbag.
Upbeat quarrystone.
.
Wineberries embrace.
Pioneer’s mesa cameo mist.
Timeless beige.
.
Salsa chaps winter dusk.
Pink spangles diamond dust.
Cobra viper essence.
