Being Green Is Not the Easiest Thing

Let's Have Some Fun Contest
Sponsor: Casarah Nance

I'll admit being green is not the easiest thing, 
    a frog looks very silly in a broken arm sling.

Yesterday Fozzie got a job singing at Shamrock Bar,
    I told him I would drive cuz' it's not very far.

Out ran Rizzo the rat, stood like a deer in headlights,
    I wanted to see Ms. Piggy later...oh, of all the nights!

Swerved and crashed into Rowlf's juniper dog house,
    "oh I can't believe that annoying little mouse!"

Rowlf had the company of Animal and Gonzo,
    what a sight to see Gonzo with an emerald afro!

We walked in to find a parakeet sleeping in moss,
   "oh man, my arm hurts! It's about to fall off!"

I heard, “ARG! RAH!” Animal threw me a frozen lime,
   I thought, “ will this really help? Pain is shooting to my spine!”

Then Scooter ran out with pickles, pears and olives,
    Swedish Chef “Shmuf shaf”, was cooking basil and sage omelets!

I saw Staler and Waldorf cracking jokes in the balcony,
    "I'm getting so annoyed, this is not the time for comedy!"

And who would have thought they would be the best greeters?
    A first aid kit came out from Dr. Bunson and Beaker!

"Geez, I am feeling a little better, this injury is no biggie,
    in walks my concerned lover, the bossy diva Ms. Piggy!

I'll admit being green is not the easiest thing, 
    a frog looks very silly in a broken arm sling.

Hi Lullo, i Loved this Couplet. So much fun in one piece. I still have a bit of a soft spot for the muppets myself. This little frolic did take me back into my own memories. Well Kermit and friends have just got you a seven rating. I Love it, laughs were wanted, laughs were written and given. Hugs....Mike.
