THE SPECTRAL COLOURS OF VISIBLE LIGHT

the magic miracle of a double rainbow

Pure White Light Disassembled

~

Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red

Can’t go to school

staying home in bed

~

Every Good Boy Deserves Favour

It’s chicken pox

and I have a fever

~

Mensa, mensae, mensae, mensam…,

I must be ill

Mom called me ‘poorly lamb’

~

The square on the hypotenuse…,

Doctor’s coming soon

I hope for happy news

It’s nice outside today

I want to go and play

~

Je suis, vous etes, il est, elle est, ils sont…,

Mom’s wise to that

back door is locked

~

Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant

So I want to go and play

and Mom says I can’t

Oh well, I’ll just stay here and chant

~

I hate conjugating Latin verbs

~
