It Ain'T Easy Being Green

Kermit is a canary, He's such a pretty boy And when he starts to sing, He sings with so much joy. Kermit is a canary, The prettiest I've ever seen And with his strange coloured plumage It ain't easy being green. The other canaries stare at him Because he is unique. They think because he's green He's some kind of a freak. But Kermit is a pretty bird Who has a pretty voice And as for his green colour He really had no choice. The yellow and the orange coloured birds, They think they are the best But little "Kermit the Green" Just doesn't look like the rest. But he can sing a pretty song, The sweetest ever heard. It just ain't easy being green Especially if you're a bird.

It seems like I am seeing lots of poems around here today about colors. Is there a color contest going on? Very cute this one. Reminds me of the Kermit song! Luv, Andrea
