Crayola 96

Crayola 96

Today I went to school,

on a big yellow bus.

I thought it would be cool,

until the driver started to fuss.

I went to my classroom,

with all the smelly kids.

I had to use the bathroom,

so I quickly did.

All the kids around me,

acted like nothing was wrong.

they cannot see what I see,

Inside the crayon box.

I found 96 bright colors,

of names I didn't know.

I was sure there was no others,

because Johnny told me so.

I quickly found my color,

my soul mate it would seem.

She was like no other,

Her name carnation pink.

As I touched her wrapping,

she started growing weak.

I heard her insides cracking,

that was the last of carnation pink.

It was then that I grew saddened,

picked up my midnight blue.

to my paper he went crashing,

And a picture he surely drew.

snapping out of sadness,

I grabbed that yellow green.

to the paper he went with madness,

Tearing up those leaves!

In my world so colored,

distant reality became.

But soon I had discovered,

the intercom had called my name.

disapointed at my drawing,

I threw the papers away.

Duty was now calling,

paperwork to be done today.
