How the Color Orange Came to beA Poem by Tasha
Once upon an hour there was a red moose
This particular moose ate a yellow fly The fly you see dared the moose to eat him "I dare you toe eat me!" he cried, surely to die A minute after swallowing the fly The moose began to go so high High in red and high in yellow Soon he was a peculiar color This particular color was never invented There was no word to describe it The moose felt as if he was demented He felt that he was going out of his wit A huge crowd began to dawn upon the creature There stood all kinds of yellows reds and blues All kinds of amazing different hues But no one was the color of the poor poor moose "What color is that?" A silly old goose was the first to cry "Why, I do believe it's a hue of red!" An old red cat said "No, no, it's a hue of yeller!" shouted a wise goat No one was certain of the color of the moose Then came the fly, flying out the moose's nose "He's orange!" yelled the fly and ending everyone's woes Now it's been years, centuries, and decades since that hour Since that hour a lot was discovered about color This particular story is about how the color orange was made © 2012 Tasha |
