Why the Sky is Blue? a Poem by John Ciardi
I don't suppose you happen to know
Why the sky is blue?
It's because the snow
Takes out the white.
That leaves it clean
For the trees and grass to take out the green.
Then pears and bananas start to mellow,
And bit by bit they take out the yellow.
The sunsets, of course, take out the red
And pour it into the ocean bed
Or behind the mountains in the west.
You take all that out and the rest
Couldn't be anything else but blue.
Look for yourself, you can see it's true.
