COLOR TAG RHYME

YOUR MOTHER AND MY MOTHER WERE HANGING OUT CLOTHES.
MY MOTHER GAVE YOUR MOTHER A PUNCH IN THE NOSE.
WHAT COLOR WAS THE BLOOD?

Submitter comment: ANOTHER RHYME TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE IT. WHOEVER THE "KING-
SAYER" IS POINTING TO ON THE LAST WORD MUST CHOOSE A COLOR--
RED WAS PASSE--AND THE "KING-SAYER" WOULD SPELL OUT THE
COLOR. WHOEVER THEY WERE POINTING TO WOULD NOT BE "IT."
