COUNTING OUT RHYME

MY MOTHER AND YOUR MOTHER WERE HANGING UP CLOTHES. MY MOTHER
SOCKED YOUR MOTHER RIGHT IN THE NOSE. WHAT COLOR WAS THE BLOOD?
PINK. P-I-N-K SPELLS PINK AND YOU ARE NOT IT.

Submitter comment: THE PERSON YOU LAND ON CHOOSES A COLOR. SPELL OUT THE COLOR
STARTING ON THE PERSON YOU LANDED ON . REPEAT THIS UNTIL ONLY ONE
PERSON IS LEFT. THAT PERSON IS "IT".
