Color Theory
when skin is orange
and heart is black
hiding in the shades
of ol’ glory
last i knews
them reds
whites
and blues
make a muted
kind of purple
that pleases
the eye
of many
crayon artists
who prefer
a wide variety
and the specialties
that are offered
never once
in a life entire
did crayola
name a color
ASSHOLE
