BLACK
Henry Ford, founder of the Ford motor company in the USA is often quoted.
You can have any color you like so long as it's black.
(Although there is some dispute as to whether he even said that, and in those exact words, I shall quote the quoted quote.)
WHITE
Wear white at night.
Road safety campaign, UK.
RED
Roses are red, violets are blue
Honey is sweet, and so are you.
Poem written by Joseph Ritson in 1700s.
Roses are red, violets are blue
I've written a poem, and so can you.
Angela Lansburry Tuesday July 30 2024.
You repeat what you heard
Some daft phrases and words
Everyone does the same
You and I aren't to blame
BLUE
Roses aren't always red,
Violets aren't always blue
Most people don't know when
To say many and few
The rain has blocked the drain
It rains on hills in Spain
Despite this I love you
That's one thing which is true.. .
Angela Lansbury
