Green is mean.
Green is lean.
Green is the color
of a fighting machine.
Green is envy.
Green means grow.
And, at a stoplight,
green means go.
Green means mold
with a bluish tint.
Green is the color
of a forest's lint.
Green are your gills
when you drink too much.
And green is the salad
you eat at lunch.
Green is the color
of American money.
And green pants on a man
always look funny.
Green is the party
we never elect.
And, more to the point,
green gets no respect.

Only Robin Hood could wear green pants and get away with it - or Errol Flynn as the case may be. This is cleverly constructed and there are many points about 'green' that I would have to agree with - and if I may add - i couldn't drive around in a green car either. I like this. Von
