A chameleon

I’m white

But I’m brown too

Add saffron

And I’m yellow

Add annatto

And suddenly

I’m red

Yet I can be

Purple

Even black

 

A shapeshifter

Oftentimes

I’m short and fat

Yet other times

I stretch long and skinny

Here I bounce big and round

But over there

I shrink

Small

and

thin

 

Most times

I’m smooth and dry

But watch out!

I can be sticky

All depends on

How you cook me

If you cook me

Will you cook me?
