My grandfather taught me this response to "Why are fire engines red?" It works when said aloud, in writing not so much, and the details are dated, but he would be proud of me for remembering.
Why Are Fire Engines Red?
Because they have 4 wheels and 8 men
4 plus 8 is 12
12 inches equals a foot
A foot is a ruler
Queen Elizabeth the Second was a ruler
Queen Elizabeth is the name of a ship
A ship moves in water
Fish move in water
Fish have fins
The Finns fought the Russians
The Russians are red
And since fire engines are always rushin', they're red.
