Redorangeyellowgreenblueindigoviolet

If red And blue Were to waltz What would happen? I think that’s how the color purple was made. Dance after dance Color after color Yellow and red left orange footsteps on The palette dance floor. Blue and green Created a color used best For painting the foam from The clashing waves And red and blue Fire and ice Both burn Leave a heartstain on your Retina Made a color for royalty And now I dance with The personification of blue And you dance with The red sea Together, the Marange, the Waltz, the Tango. Under a raised eyebrow You’ve got a paint brush between your teeth And I throw my head back laughing But I don’t want to create a purple It’s already been done Lets create Redorangeyellowgreenblueindigoviolet A color The blind can see And The deaf can hear Let’s dance To paint with us.
