“Red Is”
May 2nd, 2007

Red is a juicy red jello
That is so soft is s-l-i-t-h-e-r-s
Like a snake down your throat.
Red is blood
That comes out of your body
When you get a painful shot
OW!
Red is Hawaiian punch
That looks like red Gatorade
And gives you a red, fruity mustache.
Red is a sweet, juicy strawberry
That makes my mouth water.
Yum! Yum!
Red is mad
That makes your face look like a
Ripe tomato.
Red is chapped lips
That I get a lot when I lick them
And it stings!
Red is a shiny, bright fire engine
That makes a ear-piercing noise
Flashing through the dark night.
