Create Life, Colour Me

Create Life Colour Me Once upon a barren time, in the days of silent film Colour code gene was lacking, across the whole wide world Everything was blackybobs, mattish white and gray Blackness was the nightiness and whiteness was the day Then one day, a thunderous storm a thunderous storm so strong Thunderclaps and lightning bolts crashed on the Earth for long When the storm subsided, when the sun did shine On the far horizon danced a rainbow curvy line Born an introduce of colour, it flickered and it flashed Across the land at mach one speeds, throwing colour out at last It painted leaves with shades of green, with textures soft and strong A hundred green, that had never been seen, we had waited oh so long It painted streams and rivers blue, the sky was warm red glow Corn fields sprang with a yellowy hue with rich brown soil below Poppies came out with a brilliant red, the grasslands swung with yellow Across the land this colour thing spread for every woman and fellow A magic flowed throughout the world with piglets nicely pink Deep purple fish swam in the seas, there chocolate coloured mink Never again would things be bland, not now there was tint It is difficult to imagine, so I will give you a little hint There was pinks and greens and tangerine blue Orange and cream and strong colours too The colours had names with a magical light They bounced on the dull and they turned it bright There was of sense of joy and a new sense of fun Colour was in fashion, it had only just begun There was android green and atomic tangerine Blanched almond and bottle green Dogwood rose with denim and fawn A thousand greens on the grass to be thrown Electric purple and electric perth A thousand million colours that would splash upon the Earth To mention all the colours would take a thousand years So spread some joy and colour and throw away the tears
