What's this then

a hint of
the tint of
a warning?

'Red rag to a bull'
springs to mind

which makes me think of
Picasso
who, from boy to man
was a massive bullfighting fan

Oh
the cruelty!

but instead of dwelling on
that agony
my thoughts turn to Elvis
Costello

who
has a song I like
called
'(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes'

and, incidentally, an album
and a song
called 'Almost Blue'

but the 'Almost Blue' song
is not on
the 'Almost Blue' album
it's on the
'Imperial Bedroom' album

but where was I?
Oh yes, I know

'What's this then'
