Page 29 - Mr Gray

What about the elephant,

the monkey and the coelacanth?

What about the parrot

and the unripe carrot?

And then there is the rhino

and the whale and the pine…no

that is yellow, but there is the powerful

bear

and the rain clouds

and the music sounds

and if you close your eyes really tight,

anything that’s in your sight

could be a shade of gray.

Oh, I do hope you would say

a crayon box is complete

only when Mr. Gray has taken his seat.”
