The trimmings on
A circus cart.
A circus cart.
Red is a lipstick
Red is a shout
Red is a signal
That says, “Watch out!”
Red is a great big
Rubber ball.
Rubber ball.
Red is the giant-est

Colour of all.
Red is a show-off,
A Valentine heart,

No doubt about it –
But can you imagine
Living without it?

-From the book, Hailstones and Halibut Bones by Mary O’Neill
