At Least One Screw Loose

         George was a prankster, at least one screw loose
         Peed in a bottle, tagged it orange juice
             His mom drank it all down
             Then she started to frown
         Her face turned red, then white ~ then chartreuse

Thought of an alternative for your last line ~ Face turned a lovely shade of chartreuse

Haha, Gershon never holds back! That last line totally got me—chartreuse is the perfect twist. Poor mom, but also… George, really?!
