A Salute to Orange

To be sung to the tune of "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things"

Ginger cats, goldfish, bonfires, and mangoes




Sunsets and cheddar, Tigger dancing tangoes,




Clementines, tangerines, nectarines, too




These are some things that are orange, not blue.




Oranges, cantaloupes, clownfish, tangelos




Nasturtiums, cheddar cheese, quivering jellos




Marigolds, poppies, and that butterfly




It's called a viceroy when it flutters by.



Carrots and pumpkins and big ripe persimmons



Marigolds and floaties you wear while swimmin',




Poppies you see by the Cali roadside




These things are orange without being dyed.




So raise your crayon or your glass of OJ,




Sing out the praises of orange on this day.




Tomorrow might be all yellow and green




But you'll still remember the orange you've seen!



Okay.  You can stop singing now.



Really.  Stop.  You're gonna hurt yourself.

Here's the bracelet.  Enjoy!
