If it's yellow…

If it’s yellow let it mellow.
If it’s brown, flush it down.

What of other colors?
If it’s grey should it not go away?
If it’s green, flee the scene?
If it’s blue, I feel for you.
If it’s grape, let it escape.
If it’s tan, let it go man.
When chartreuse, something’s loose.
If it’s black? Thin Mint attack.
If it’s white, run with fright.
If it’s orange, wow.
If it’s pink, into the drink.
If it’s red, most likely dead.
