Ode to Crayola -

Outrageous Orange, Laser Lemon, and Jungle Green.

That’s what I said.

Wild Watermelon, Midnight Blue, Atomic Tangerine.

Radical Red, Sky Blue, and Shamrock too,

And Gold so true it glows.

I love the Razzmatazz, and Purple Pizazz,

And Razzle Dazzle Rose.

Every color’s like an old friend.

Hot Magenta is a godsend.

I took the factory tour.

It really opened the door, and I at once became transfixed.

I know they’re pieces of wax,

but I can never relax without my box of 96.

Crayola.

Crayola’s all that I know.

The colors, delicious, making a rainbow.

Crayola, I love you so.

I love them so much.

Every shade, every gorgeous hue.

It’s no surprise

They’re taking over everything that I say and do.

I’m gonna rise at dawn with no clothes on,

And color on my skin.

Colors of life and love from heaven above,

Absolve me of my sin.

I would wear them like a nightgown,

But they’re getting kinda worn down.

I took the factory tour.

It really opened the door, and I at once became transfixed.

I know they’re pieces of wax,

But I can never relax without my box of 96.

I love you Vivid Violet.

I love you Robin’s Egg Blue.

I love you Screamin' Green,

And Purple Mountain’s Majesty too.

I really love my babies.

I really love my babies.

I love my crayons and I love the way they taste.

Crayola.

Crayola’s all that I know.

The colors, delicious, making a rainbow.

Crayola, I love you so.
