Purple People Eater

 Every day site I use to make AI pictures- Night Cafe- issues a challenge and usually I enter.

 Today's challenge is "Orange and Purple". Simply that.

I did a girl in an purple dress on an orange beach.

Boring

I did an orange bird against a purple sky.

Boring.

Then a memory was jogged and I did a Purple People Eater.

Fun.

That song came out in 1958. I was seven. It was on the radio all the time. Sheb Wooley said it was the worst song he'd ever written. But ain't it so often the way that the trifle, the whimsy, the thing you toss off without much thought, even in self-mockery, with no regard for the canons of art and beauty, is the thing people take to their hearts.
