Imagine we could choose to be any colors we wanted at any time. How neat would that be! |
Imagine we were able to See colors people never do When we saw friends and family And everyone looked differently. Imagine if, we wanted to, That we could all choose any hue And then, if we decided to, We'd change again -- to one that's new. How neat if everyone could be Whatever color he or she Would want and later, just for fun We'd change again before we're done. Suppose a squirrel or pussycat or mouse or donkey or a bat Decided that they'd like to try Some different colors -- who'd ask "why"? I think that it would be so neat To see a mouse with yellow feet And scintillating bright blue eyes And soft blue fur, I would surmise. And how about a frisky squirrel Who'd grab an acorn, let it hurl Down on a man on his bald head Who'd look up at a squirrel, bright red! We're all accustomed to the sight In all we see, in day or night, Of colors that we all expect And never think we could elect.... To choose whatever colors we Would now imagine they could be How wonderful if we could use Our minds to create any hues. Just think of a white pussycat You always loved to pet, and that He thought, "I'd like to try a change To green or purple" – My, how strange! You might not even recognize Your cat when you looked in his eyes Especially if he had feet That now are green -- that would be neat. He even could then change his nose From pink to green to match his toes, And change his tail to silver white To make him stand out in the night And what if leaves on a green tree Decided that they want to be A shade of orange, pink or brown When fall came and they all fell down? How beautiful all kinds of things Become when vibrant nature sings And changes right before our eyes The colors of the earth and skies. There are so many colors all Around us -- such as trees in fall; And all we need to do is see The beauty there for you and me! |
