Red, blue, yellow, and pink.

You sat on the scratchy old carpet in the messy living room,

Waiting for mom and dad to sit down and play with you.


You had the board set up, with your designated character,

Just hoping they wouldn't notice.


You stole it—


Throughout the night you traveled the rainbow road,

The only road you knew how to cross.


Red, blue, yellow, and pink.


To the peppermint forest, the lollipop woods, and to lord licorice.


From the hidden gingerbread men, and gumdrops galore.

You absolutely adored it.


But when you took the wrong card, you were back again to mrs.gingerbread tree,

The old woman who started the game.


You cried.


Mom and dad let you win.

Red, blue, yellow, and pink.

To the candy castle and king candy.
