Note: SparkleFarkle in the first comment alluded to the colorful outstretched feathers of the NBC Peacock. I thought it cool to have the image uploaded here. Thanks Sparkle Ma'am!
Color me blue
Ain’t no use crying
If things aren’t working well
Warm tears flowing
Nothing to stop the blues
Eyes red bloodshot hues
Likening to the blue Danube
That overflows its banks
A Purple Heart signifies
Valor in men
Soldiers in blue
Contrasts the Red Army
A Green Revolution
Is a preferred solution
A duel to the death
Is just a memory
Now the contenders jostle
Within the party
Seeking endorsements
Of the GOPs
As they proceed
To consolidate their positions
It is now the next round
Debates most profound
New Hampshire beckons
Note: The first part has to do with a lot of colors. The second part strayed to the current Presidential debates which are just as colorful.

Man, those are no ordinary hues-- they're Techicolor! (And when I came upon the Presidential debates part, it was like the NBC Peacock was shooting out BIG feathers!)
