Page 22 - Mr Gray

“There are so many colors,

such pretty dames and fellows;

Mrs. Red, Mr. Yellow, Dr. Green…

the fairest I have ever seen.

There is Professor Purple, Mauve,

Pink.

There is Mr. Black, Tan, and I think

in the box of crayons I even might

have seen the glorious Queen

White.

There is Master Blue

and Miss Orange and there too

is Lily Lilac, Sweet Cerise…

She’s Mrs. Red’s niece.
