Analysis of Pick A Crayon
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your soul
Shade within the dotted lines until the phantom's whole
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your love
Shade within the dotted lines to hear the turtledove
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your smile
Shade within the dotted lines for a joyous lifestyle
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your hope
Shade within the dotted lines while skipping the rope
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your worth
Shade within the dotted lines circumventing the dearth
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your mind
Shade within the dotted lines for verity to find
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your goal
Shade within the dotted lines matching a Super Bowl
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your truth
Shade within the dotted lines providing moral couth
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your work
Shade within the dotted lines to see the fruitful perk
Pick a crayon from the box the color of your heart
Shade within the dotted lines emotions to jump-start
