Raymond Chandler

Slight words from tight lips,
And tough ones from rough ones;
Loose lips will sink ships,
And red ones make dead ones.

Flint-hearts have glint-eyes,
Neurotics are mousy;
Dime joints are crime joints,
And hotels are lousy.

Hey! Only my hair is mousy...right up until I bleach it!

I must be dumb. What colour is mousy hair, light brown? I always thought of mice as grey - except for the mouse mouse below, of course.

Usually brown. In my case a sort of ashy-brown.
