Why the Leaves Are Green

People call me as insane
Sitting alone on the plain

They say I am very keen
Asking why the leaves are green

They see me glance at the ocean
They watch me look at the sun

I am just a crazy pauper
For those who have no answer

Leaves are green, God and I know
Ocean's blue whilst sun's yellow

Eureka! Leaves are between
Sun and ocean, so they're green
