Mime

Let me long again:
White face, fear not,
Whatever's left is what you've got.

And this shall not be the last time:
Blue face, don't scream,
Maybe it was all a dream.

For you are the mimic:
Green face, don't misbehave,
Someone else has what you crave.

I am the mimic:
Black face, juju begone,
This madness must not carry on.

Let's play mime:
Pink face, be happy now,
Or have you forgotten how?

Red face, kindly explain
Why you would come back again.

Brown face belongs to me,
If the colours let me be.

For you are the mimic, I am the mimic, let's play mime:
Let me long again and this shall not be the last time.
