~Peter Bradley, Math

I wanted a box of 64 crayons, one of every hue
I got a box of 8, now what to do

Blue – the sky on a warm spring day, or the color of the ocean at the beach

Black – the color of sadness, or the sky on a moonless night

Brown – chocolate chip cookies, or the mud that I was just playing in

Green – the color of money, or the envy I feel when I see my friends box of 64 crayons

Orange – a fresh piece of fruit, or OJ in the morning

Purple – a grape, or my favorite jelly bean

Red – the color of blood, or a fast car

Yellow – the sun, or a bunch of bananas

I wanted a box of 64 crayons, one of every hue
I got a box of 8, this will do
