Green

"But green's the color of spring And green can be cool and friendly like And green can be big like a mountain Or important like a river or tall like a tree" Verse from Bein' Green by Andrew Bird, sung by Kermit the frog
Grasshopper, caterpillar, praying mantis, gecko, and iguana Really healthful veggies and fruits like grape, apple, pear and lime. Eyes like mine, fields, tennis courts, and plants like marijuana! Emeralds and jade, Kermit, Hulk, and Shrek, and yukky slime. Nature wears it best with trees and leaves, and ivy that can climb.
