Orange is tangerine and sherbet, children and sunset.
Orange is single, stands tall, and gives no one rhyme.
Orange is lily and luster, butterfly and kitten.
Orange is lewd and lascivious, the smile of clown.
Orange is oreole, parrot, terra cotta and time.
Orange is peach and coral, cheeky and brilliant.
Orange is father of yellow, close to golden.
Orange is happiness, jubilant, high.
