need help with this riddle pleeeeeeeeeeeeease

That doesnt make sense.
Do yuo mean count all the red letters???

exactly my problem ...... i dont know am just wondering if anyone else has came across this riddle its driving me nuts!!!!!!

Ahh, I think the mean the word red.

I think its one of those mind trick things, eg if the word green is written in the colour blue, someone then asks you what the word says, it confuses the mind for a second.The mind sees greena and blue and has to think about the question a bit.

So Ireckon the puzzle is tricking your mind into counting the words in red and not just the word red.As the words ARE the colour red.

Clear??!

sorry if I'm being a bit obtuse here but eleven would seem to be the obvious answer

first thing i noticed that the questions is count the redS

there are no redS in that poem, just red.

so I say zero.

it is either 1,37 or 41

1=thr word redS
37= all the red words in puzzle
and 41 all the words in puzzle and the 4 words out of the puzzle :eg count all the reds

count all the reds
How about count all the red letters including full stops etc
then count all the red words
then count all the red and reds and all backwards red and reds
and then all the things like red bench etc
