Fire engines are red.
Newspapers are read too.
Two times two makes four.
Three times four makes twelve.
There are twelve inches in a foot.
A foot is also a ruler.
Queen Mary was a ruler.
Queen Mary was also a ship.
Ships sail on the ocean.
Fish swim in the ocean.
Fish have fins.
The Finnes fought the Russians.
Russians are red.
Fire Engines are always a-rushin'...
THAT'S why fire engines are red!

Almost right - The University of Windsor Engineering school did a study (like they needed one) that found that yellow was the most visable colour - so therefor our fire engines are now yellow.
