Green Envy
When youth in full bloom
during Spring's green boom
See a robin fly by
or geese in the sky
Do not feel impressed
by Spring's new green dress
Thoughts all aflutter
tongues twist and mutter
When pretty young girls
with green bows and curls
Skip by with their friends
chit chat without end
Spring's green with envy
can't feel the frenzy
She plunks herself down
a sullen green frown
Soon clouds fill the sky
big tears fall from high
People just scatter
What is the matter?
Dear Spring takes a look
at the smiles she took
Demeanour improved
Her Green-ness is soothed.
