Jobs for Poets

The paint companies must comb the Arts graduates of our universities for poets they can hire. Names for colours have always been laughable, but they have really gone up a notch lately. The following list sounds like the bill for The Big Day Out.

From the Dulux range:

Charmed Lute
Grotto Green
Tuxedo
Pompeii Ash
Mr Mustard
SoftSun
Butterblond
Great Dane
Tan Wagon
Yardbird
Electric Eel
Stetson
Grapple
Luscious Lobster
Night Romance
Purple Statement
Deep Rift
Love Pat
Captivated
Ritual
Lickedy Lick
Disc Jockey

See if you can spot the one I made up. If not, I might give Dulux a call about a job.
