When coffee, though a dark brown drink
Was named a coffee "black",
Was beige too "grey"
Since grey-friars' way
Of clothing
Is beige both front and back?
The cappucino gives a hint
Since beige it is no doubt:
Named after them,
(Their mantle hem
And hood too)
It should colour all their "clout"!

Even when writing this dictionary, "grey" could enter into the definition of "beige", though the word itself is old:
beige
