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


Photobucket

Sunsets and cheddar, Tigger dancing tangoes,


Photobucket

Clementines, tangerines, nectarines, too


Photobucket

These are some things that are orange, not blue.


Photobucket

Oranges, cantaloupes, clownfish, tangelos


Photobucket

Nasturtiums, cheddar cheese, quivering jellos


Photobucket

Marigolds, poppies, and that butterfly


Photobucket

It's called a viceroy when it flutters by.

Photobucket

Carrots and pumpkins and big ripe persimmons

Photobucket

Marigolds and floaties you wear while swimmin',


Photobucket

Poppies you see by the Cali roadside


Photobucket

These things are orange without being dyed.


Photobucket

So raise your crayon or your glass of OJ,


Photobucket

Sing out the praises of orange on this day.


Photobucket

Tomorrow might be all yellow and green


Photobucket

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

Photobucket

Okay.  You can stop singing now.

Photobucket

Really.  Stop.  You're gonna hurt yourself.

Here's the bracelet.  Enjoy!
