I was pale green with envy 'Twas so easy to see For to Marge's poetry trash can I did willfully flee. I found hunter green splashes blended on parchment of pink, her words made me greener but her trash didn't stink. But that neon green thing that we found in the fridge? What was that all about? That green thing with a ridge! Since nothing on earth could be that shade of green Throw it out! I did shout before it wakes up and turns mean! Now the grass is always greener on the other side of the street, but then you already knew that' didn't you my sweet? Now those delicate spring green grasses are a heavenly delight 'cept in Alaska winters they turn brown then pure white overnight. So that green stuff that flew by in my driveway last night? It came from neighbors trash can that glows neon green at night. Oh but the green scent of money? I could sniff that all day, just mix it around please with some fresh cut green hay, I could roll around happily in both night and day. But today I'm an odd mixture of yellow and blue for at home I do sit with a nasty green flu, and only bowls of green pea soup under a green aurora will do. It's a good thing these here Pips pages are blue, 'cuz I'll no doubt look like an olive for another day or two. And for contrasting colors olive green on pale blue will just have to make do. I feel much better now. Writing really does heal! thanks, Marge! |

This is cute Kacy. And if you really have the flu, I hope you're feeling better soon. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
