Oh there is Maroon, Antique Brass, Plum,
And Aquamarnie,
Asparagus, Yellow,
And Atomic Tangerine,
Who can’t live without Beaver, Bittersweet, Black,
And Blizzard Blue?
Or Blue Bell, Blue Grey, Blue Green, Blue Violet,
In fact Blues of every hue?
It’s better to Blush than be Brick Red,
As also to be Brown, than Burnt Orange,
But to be Burnt Sienna is something to be said.
Cadet Blue is pretty,
While Inchworm is silly.
Caribbean Green, Carnation Pink, Cerulean, or Cerise,
If it had one, would be the color of the breeze.
Chestnut and Copper,
Are understated colors,
While Cornflower, Cotton Candy, and Dandelion,
Stand out amongst the others.
If the world was colored Denim, Red, or Eggplant,
Then Scarlet, Magenta, and Forest Green
Would be jealous of that.
Fuchsia is to Purple,
As Gold is to Goldenrod,
However Fuzzy Wuzzy is not to Midnight Blue,
Those colors are too cool.
Grey and Green like Vivid Tangerine,
While Mango Tango hates Magenta,
If you ask
Tan and Pink,
They are always ones to think,
That nothing rhymes with Orange.

Reblogged this on Shackled and Crowned and commented:
Here is a lil something fun and brilliant for your Monday morning.
I love this…
I just broke into a new box of 64 this weekend. I colored on Spongebob. I understand the fascination with colors.
Did you use yellow?
😉
Lovely… and anything rhymes with orange if you’re Dr. Suess. Orange plorange!
I think Dr. Suess cheated a lot!
True but it was fun!
I love crayons….and I am smiling like a 5 year old right now. Well-written and delightfully fun.
The Scribbler
Thank you! Keep on scribbling!
Always! [:
silver and purple rhyme with orange
Maybe if you say it with a weird accent…
maybe 🙂 It’s kind of interesting that several colors have nothing that rhyme with them…coinkidink or government planned? You decide!
I don’t think the government named the colors. I think the cavemen did.
hmmmm…..you could be right. Or purple.
Nurple.
that is a government color if i ever heard one, De Voss.
Haha! Touche!
Thank you for brightening up my morning!
Thank you for stopping by!
Door hinge.
So much html. That takes pretty much forever! But a beautiful result ^.^
It did! Thank you for noticing!
That’s cuz Orange is unique. Thanks for making this cold and grey day a bit sunnier.
From Florida: You’re welcome.
Chris, I want to frame this. It’s brilliant. I love the burnt colors, no, wait, I mean I love Mango Tango. What could wrong with Inchworm or Cerulean? I will never look on a box of crayons the same way.
Haha! Thank you!
love this and orange you glad i didn’t say banana?
Didn’t you? :p
Someone needs to make up a word rhyming with orange. Maybe I will. The word is “blorange”. It’s that feeling you get when you eat a lot and go to sleep and wake up not feeling well. Like a hangover for food. I dare you to use it.
Challenge accepted. Maybe tomorrow though, tonight I feel a little blorange.
Actually, a “cornge” is a makeshift bong made out of a corn cob.
Good to know! I’m from Ohio originally, you would have thought I knew this already.
DeVoss,
It got progressively funnier. I couldn’t block the image in my head of Fred Rogers skipping through a daisy patch and singing this poem. Every time he names one off he tosses it into the field very carelessly, you know, like the next color in the box caught more of his attention in that moment.
Fred had ADD.
Awesome poem! (I kinda laughed at a color named Beaver)
I was hoping someone would mention that. 🙂
You definitely have a gift. I’m thinking “Beaver” is a Canadian colour.
Good call, eh?
I adored this lovely ode. I have the box of 64 crayons on my desk at work. Bring a coloring book and come visit me. ❤
Can it be a boob coloring book? They have them on Amazon.
Sure, why not. Will you bring me one with penises in it? LOLOLOLOLOL!
Sure!
Sweet, it’s a date!
