Fifty colors in a box
Not one more or less
All give them all one by one
An ode to each nobless...

First to BLUE
through and through
No color is much finer
For mellow and sky,
Fourth of July,
And also for fine China

Right next to blue
Is CERULEAN too
A soothing color for sure
Relaxed and calming,
balmy and charming,
Although maybe a little obscure.

And ah, here is royalty!
Wisdom and loyalty!
Majestic and magic PURPLE HEART.
In Thailand it means grieving,
For Indians, healing.
In America it means lost body parts.

Next, MIDNIGHT BLUE
(A deep, dark hue)
right next to AQUAMARINE
Quite good for coloring seas
And Islands with palm trees
When combined with CARIBBEAN GREEN.

Is this one a joke?
It seems to provoke
Debate whether it's a purple or blue.
Either way it's the same
A right silly name.
Just PERIWINKLE to you.

Gunslinger's eyes
And faded Levis
Exemplify DENIM's many merits
And CERICE can be found when
Painting the mountains
Or on tropical parrots.

PACIFIC BLUE and CORNFLOWER;
Brothers in rainshowers
Same for blues -NAVY and -TEAL
But paint the rain FUCHSIA
And it'll likely confuse ya
Cause, man that color's surreal!

RED's the color of anger and shame
Of stoplights
Of fist fights
And sin
And SCARLET's the letter
Used to vilify and fetter
The spirit of Miss Hestor Prynne

The GREENS: FOREST, JUNGLE and TROPICAL
no match for ELECTRIC LIME
There's a SCREAMIN', and thus
The inscrutible ASPARAGUS
Gets eaten every time.

But BLUE-GREEN, oh there's a riddle, there is.
Is it a green, or is it a blue?
I don't think I care
So I'll just delare
You a Bleen. Or maybe a Grue.

Who wears short-shorts?
I wear short-shorts!
And always HOT MAGENTA.
I wish they were bluish.
I'm definitely not Jewish
But maybe I'll give them up for lent-a.

Grrrr BLUE-VIOLET!
I'm about to get violent!
Why can't they be more specific?
Can't they see Violet-Blue
Is exactly the same hue?
It's extremely unscientific!

BLIZZARD BLUE
I thought we were through
With all of these bluish shades.
But there's SKY BLUE, oh no!
And there's INDIGO!
Where are the razor blades?

Do you think if I cut myself I'd bleed
PURPLE MOUNTAIN MAJESTY?
Or maybe WISTERIA, MAGENTA or PLUM?
BRICK RED would be far far too hum-drum.

Hey that'll be keen!
My skin'll turn PINE GREEN
And all kinds of colors when I die.
I'll eat ATOMIC TANGERINES
And have COTTON CANDY dreams
Up there in the ROBIN EGG BLUE sky.

I think I'm BRINK PINKing.
Though this is SILVER amazing.
I can't seem to RAZMATAZZ stop!

Please, LASER LEMON retreat!
BLUE BELL me a BITTERSWEET!

ROYAL PURPLE! VIVID VIOLET!
I'm on auto pilot!

BURNT SIENNA! CARNATION PINK!
I can't even think!
PURPLE PIZZAZ at the brink...

BLACK.
