The Yellow Blues

 Yeah, I'm that guy from the M&M commercials. What of it? Do I walk up to you and ask you what your job is? I didn't think so. Sorry if I come across harsh, maybe I'm just sick of being the yellow M&M guy. Maybe I'm sick of playing second banana to some angry red guy half my size. Nobody wants to know the real yellow M&M man. Nobody even knows my real name! I'm not "that yellow M&M guy", I'm Malph A. Miller for goodness sake! Is it a perfect name? No, but it's my name consarnit! Everybody knows the happy-go-lucky yellow M&M playing the Yang to the red M&M's Yin, but does anybody know the brooding, starving artist that is Malph Miller? Malph Miller, who spends all of his free time at Starbuck's? Who is a lounge singer on weekends, not for the money but for the passion of the music? No... not yet. Some day my talents will be discovered, someday I will be truly fulfilled, but until then, I'm just a commercial actor with the yellow blues.
