Blue is the sparkling ocean rushing up the shore
Blue are unhappy people who wish that they had more
Blue is the lovely colour of a gorgeous Summer sky
Blue is the colour of a scrumptious blueberry pie
Blue is the colour of a Floraville school shirt
Blue is the cool water that big water guns squirt
Blue is a slippery, slimy wet floor
Blue is a wonderful under sea-world door
Blue is the colour of beautiful eyes
Blue is the cold blood when a scaly reptile dies
Blue is a lady’s handbag covered in wild berries
Blue are birthday balloons that are very, very merry
Blue are the ringed octopi way, deep down below
Blue is the fresh, new morning as the sun says hello.
