Colors.

There is one poem I know backwards and forwards and if I wanted to I could probably learn in a different language if I really wanted to this is how it goes:

My skin is sort of brownish
Pinkish yellowish white.
My eyes are greyish blueish green,
But I'm told they look orange in the night.
My hair is a reddish blondish brown,
But it's silver when it's wet.
And all of the colors I am inside
Have not been invented yet.

I like to think that Shel Silverstein wrote that with me in mind because I feel like if I could see color, if I could see in general. I would feel like this.
