A guy who reduces all colour to ASCII code must find life duller than those of us who like violet or blue which make our lives richer and fuller.

For example, take aquamarine, which lies between deep blue and green and expresses the notion of a far distant ocean words fail me (you know what I mean);

well, pause for a moment and think as you stand by the ocean’s salt brink, how lucky you are to have travelled this far and find that it’s not shocking pink!

I’LL WRITE THIS WHILE HOLDING THE CAPS KEY THEY’RE HEX RGB CODES NOT ASCII YOU SEE ASCII’S FOR TEXT WHICH IS WHY I AM VEXED AND WRITING THIS HOLDING THE CAPS KEY

Darrell

Wha’ever! It’s gobbledy gook no matter which way I look; if it’s not RGB or ASCII, for me I’ll go by what’s in the book.

A limerick created by code? That is surely the end of the road! Whatever is next? Just randomised text for a pantoum or Pindaric ode?
