Riddle Me a Riddle

ottava rima

A rambling riddle; hope you'll play along...
Fingers when I have played too much cello. 
Head, neck and shoulders baked in sun too long; 
Zingers by Hostess and cherry jello. 
Used with blue and white, patriotic song; 
singers’ roses but not Texas yellow. 
Hot pink is like my second fiddle;
strawberries are a key to this riddle.
