What is Red?

Red is a sunset
Blazing and bright
Red is feeling brave
With all your might.
Red is a sunburn
Spot on your nose
Sometimes red
Is a red red rose.
Red squiggles our
When you cut your hand.
Red is a brick
And the sound of a band.
Red is hotness
You get inside
When you're embarrassed
And want to hide
Fire-cracker, fire-engine
Fire-flicker red-
And when you're angry
Red runs through your head.
Red is an Indian
A Valentine heart
The trimmings on
A circus cart.
Red is a lipstick
Red is a shout
Red is a signal
That says: "Watch out!"
Red is a great big
Rubber ball.
Red is the giant-est
Colour of all.
Red is a show-off,
No doubt about it_
But can you imagine it
Living without it?

Copycat

Copycat, copycat,
Shadow's a copycat!

Out in the sun
Whenever I run,
It runs.
Whenever I twirl,
It twirls.
I curl up small.
It curls up small.
I stand up tall.
It stands up tall.

Copycat, copycat,
Shadow's a copycat.

Whenever I hide,
It hides.
I spread out wide.
It spreads out wide.
I pat my head.
It pats its head.
I fall down dead.
It falls down dead.

But when I go inside
to stay,
Copycat, copycat
goes away!
