Shades of Green

Blithe blonde, a vision in neon lime;
Mini-skirt and boots: it's Laugh-In time!...
Gold-go-go-goddess Green.

Butter is hot enough to entice.
Add flour, eggs, salt and tomato slice...
Hot-breaded-pan-fried Green.

A Blue album with a verdant song;
Joni's voice is soothing yet so strong...
She's-just-a-Little Green.

In three stanzas, spring boldly unfurls
For old folks and playful boys and girls...
Blake's-bright-Echoing Green.

The grass withers and the flowers fall;
There is a Word that outblooms them all... 

Ever-true Evergreen.
