Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously: A Two Act Play

The color red: Let green have her beauty rest

The color blue: When we mix colors, it is exquisite.

The color red: Spending a winter hibernating makes green colorless.

The color blue: No it makes her brown

The color red: No it makes her blackish.

The color yellow: I will make live the color green

The color red: But I will pulse through green’s veins

The color blue: But green will prey up towards me.

The color white: Now take it easy, take it easy, green is colorless just from want of another color.

All the colors: who are you to say?

The color white: I embrace all the colors of the rainbow.

The color white: whoever adds the most beauty to green will wake her and spend the rest of the seasons with her.

The color red: Who will be the judge?

The color white: black. Black is color blind.

End of act one

Act two:

The color white: so black, all the colors have experimented with green, what do you say?

The color black: red made green bleed, and so will drain all the life out of nature.

The color red blushes in shame.

The color black: blue makes green look moldy

The color blue gets depressed.

The color yellow glows brilliantly.

The color black: take it easy.

Black whispers in white’s ears.

The color white: all colors will report to nature’s easel immediately.

There is a nervous spray of colors everywhere

The color black: all colors are as colorless as green. You must be reborn as pure white or you will become as dead as me, as dead as black
