Coming up the hill a little while ago

Passed a house in mid-paint - a show!

For a new darker blue had been used

Leaving half the house cyan - a groove!



For the mid-line had been marked vertically

With the two colors separated right up to frieze

Reminding one of those black/white face masks

Actors and mimes use, to make points and laughs



But here was this effect on the front end of a house

Separating it into two halves - as cute as a mouse

At least - the kind drawn in cartoons and comic strips

Which are sometimes so funny-looking ... you just flip!
