            PICNIC-COOLER COLORS
        (#29 OF 14,000 HAPPY THINGS)

              In spring, green.
I reach among the close-packed leaves and pluck the fruit.
    The juice trickles sweetly down my throat.

              In summer, blue.
I smoothly dart a fish from the running river current.
    It has been kept fresh all year for our supper.

              In autumn, orange.
I scoop handfuls of cool sticky stuff full of seeds.
    Jack-o'lantern and pumpkin pie!

              In winter, white.
I lift a handful of cold new snow to my thirsty lips.
    My tongue gratefully licks it up.

               In spring, green.
Etc. etc. etc.

Then you take the pumpkin seeds, and you toast 'em... and eat 'em.... Awesome!!
