Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we're diving into a lovely hue, a shade so bright and true - “red”!
Now, the dictionary gives us quite a spread,
Of what "red" truly means, inside your head.
It starts with wavelengths, long and slow,
670 nanometers – you should know!
That’s part of light, a spectrum grand,
A beautiful colour across the land.
But “red” isn't just a wave so neat,
It's also how we mix colors sweet!
When white light shines, it starts to play,
Subtracting green and blue in every way.
Magenta and yellow, a clever trick,
To make that vibrant red, quick, quick, quick!
And think of nature’s brilliant show,
Like blood so rich, or berries aglow! –
Strawberries ripe, a luscious treat,
Red is found in flavors, oh so sweet!
So “red” can mean light, it can be blend,
A natural color, until the end.
