Examples of Green
The color of money, the muck in a stream;
There’s the color of envy, for the things that you’ve seen.
Green in the gills from dangerous pills;
Green scrubber pads that clean up the swill.
Apathy bound cuz you got no green;
Marks left on the finger from a cheaply made ring.
The mark of distinction separating the sky;
Post nasal dripping that simply won’t dry.
The color of Pippins, picked from a tree;
Throwing green money in an uncontrolled spree.
Green little breath mints, there’s tic and there’s tack;
Green Meadow racing, horses run on the track.
Green little candies called jelly beans;
Green colored mold that seeps through the seams.
These are my examples, though a little off beat;
That’s all I should offer before I repeat.
