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.
