Green frogs catching flies out of the air
Green scum on the frog pond
Green leaves furled on the branches
Green onions don’t make you cry
Green walls subdue the wild child
Green grass traps us into caring for it
Green tea inspires us to health
Green lights prevent us from stopping and smelling the roses
Green spinach stuck between your front teeth
Green alligators lying in wait for unsuspecting prey
Green algae keeping the lakes alive
Green moss selects only one side of the tree
Green mould creates miracle drugs
Green slime oozes along the path
Green crayons used up first
Green jello tastes best
But not green jelly beans
Or green eggs and ham

Jane MacKinnon loves the colour green, but not all shades of green – you can tell by the clothes she wears. Walks on water but had no one to tell until now.
