"Bigotry in a Crayon World"

Brown was talking to Orange one day,
We're planning a party for Purple.
It's going to be so fun and breathtaking
So bring along Black, White, and Yellow.

But how about Blue, Violet, and Magenta?
They're Purple's relatives too.
I should have known you were planning on ditching
The rest of the colors you hated.

No, I don't hate them as much as they hate me,
I just don't want to cause some confusion.
Those three colors are just too rowdy and loud,
They should join the circus bandwagon.

But those colors are my friends, Brown.
If not for them I would not have noticed,
The beauty of my hues are magnified immensely,
When they are right there alongside me.

So Brown's party for Purple was canceled,
Due to this sudden explosive disagreement.
Orange settled for a tiny gathering,
With the colors that he thought were his complements.
