A Crayon's Night

Prompt: Wow! Did Crayola make this beautiful disaster?

A Crayon's Night

If crayon's did wear pants
Would they wear Levi's when they go out to dance
Would they paint the colors on the blue jeans
With blue in every delicate stitch
Would they swirl the colors behind the scenes
The shades become so rich
Would they darken in the red of your old t-shirt
Or color in the white on your shoes
Would they change colors when they flirt
If they have too much booze
If crayon's did wear pants
Would they wear skirts if they had the chance
Would they hoola-hoop for fun
Or hopscotch instead
Would they paint the rays of the setting sun
Or just be lazy and stay in bed
Would they walk the dog at midnight
And paint his fur brown
Would they go to bed with a night light
Or stay up dancing on the town
If crayon's could wear pants
You would notice at first glance
They would draw your attention
The moment that you look
And did I forget to mention
You can find them in the pages of a book
