    		I hope this is what you were looking for Danielle!

    "Black 'round yellow, harmless fellow. Yellow 'round black, stay far back."

    "Red touches black, you're O.K. Jack. Red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow."

    		The version I learned was:

    Red on yellow, kill a fellow.
    Red on black, venom lack.
