Red

Red is cars zooming past fast
And paint splashing all around.
Red is blood travelling around your body
And a "Big Red" bouncing all about.
Red is anger and restless and evil and bad.
Red is burnt on a barbeque.
Red is apples that are sweet or a rose on a tree.
Red is juicy watermelon and a sour lolly.
Sometimes red is crackling from a fire or sirens from a fire truck.
Red is silky and smooth or comfy on a bed.
