Red is the colour of Christmas and lipstick
Delicious red fruit – raspberries, cherries and strawberries
Roses are red
Snails eat red
Floating balloons become red spots
We can write with red pencils
Clothes and hats are the lovely red too
Cars, bikes and trucks shining in red
Fire, flames and coals glow red
Red fire trucks speeding, lights flashing
Qantas planes fly with red tails
Steam trains burn red to make steam
Trains need red signals
Red means stop
Red is hot and evil.
