Brown is the colour of the country road,

back of a turtle,

back of a toad..

Brown is cinnamon

and morning toast,

and the good smell of the sunday roast..

Brown is a house

on the edge of town

where the wind is tearing

and shringles down...

Brown is the earth 

when you dig a whole

Brown is a freckle 

Brown is a mole...

Brown is a hair 

on many a head

Brown is chocolate 

and gingerbread.

Brown is a leather shoe,

and a good glove - 

brown is as comfortable as love
