Monks and Raisins

I have observed pink monks eating blue raisins.
And I have observed blue monks eating pink raisins.
Studiously I have observed.
Now, this is the way a pink monk eats a blue raisin:
Pink is he and it is blue and the pink
Swallows the blue.
I swear this is true.
And the way a blue monk eats a pink raisin is this:
Blue is he and it is pink and the blue
Swallows the pink.
And this also is truth.
Indeed I have observed and myself partaken
Of blue and pink raisins.
But my joy was different.
My joy was to see the blue and pink counterpointing.
