While working out what rhymes with red,
It took a while, it should be said.
So many swirled around my head,
I thought I’d go for pink instead.
–
Now, there’s a colour, don’t you think?
Although this one can make men shrink.
It could take them to the brink.
This calls for a quick rethink.
–
Brown’s the one to pin it down,
Although it wouldn’t paint the town.
The thought of it may make you frown.
I’ll have to try another noun.
–
Now, blue’s a colour of a different hue.
Again, for choice, a lengthy queue.
The more I looked, the more it grew.
I’d look for something that isn’t blue.
–
Green sounds nice and often seen.
After rain it looks so clean.
But maybe something in between.
Turquoise may well suit the scene.
–
Turquoise? Are you kidding?
