There was once an Orange 
Who thought that he was green
He often wondered why they called him 
Orange. Couldn’t they see? 

He also wondered what the colour
Orange looked and felt like 
So he asked his friend, Watermelon 
To help him see and decide 

You see, Orange saw the world
A little differently from others
Reds and greens and oranges 
Took on brand new shades and colours 

Sunsets looked like purple dragons
Breathing out silver fire
Trees looked yellow as the sun
Dotted with blue-green flowers

And so Watermelon sat down to think
His seeds jumped up and down
Then suddenly they froze in place 
There was a solution he had found!

He would show Orange his face
In a mirror on the wall
Then Orange would see what the colour
Orange looked like after all

So they both rolled up to the glass
And stared at their reflections 
Orange said “See, I’m green too” 
“We are both of us watermelons!”
