What is Black?
Black is the colour of dullness,
And the smoke from a steam express.
It’s the burnt on your toast and
funeral coats.
It’s the colour of space and a fireplace,
And coal plus a mole.
An empty mind and passing time.
Death and before a couple met.
The tyre on your car and a loved one afar.
Ink and when you blink is black.
The violence of war and some
clothes that have tore.
Black is like a train track.
And, at the end of your life when you fall into
a…. BIG BLACK HOLE.

WHAT IS BROWN?
BROWN IS THE COLOUR OF MY HAIR
DOWN IS THE WAY I LIKE TO WEAR
I REALLY LIKE TO EAT CHOCOLATE BARS
BROWN AND GOOEY LIKE A MARS
BROWN IS THE COLOUR OF THE FENCE OUT MY BACK
I GET MY FOOTBALL AND GIVE IT A WHACK
MY DOG HAS BROWN AND WHITE SPOTS
I LOVE HIM LOTS AND LOTS
SO BROWN IS MY FAVOURITE COLOUR IN THE WORLD
MMMMM THAT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT CHOCOLATE TWIRLS!

GREEN, GREEN, GREEN
PEACFUL, PLEASANT AND CALM.
