Viridescence

For the first time in a long time,

I went for a long walk outside today,

And it got me thinking about the colour green.

Nature’s purest hue was everywhere in sight:

The leaves, the grass, the shrubs; everything was green.

My relaxed stroll took place inside a park,

which had benches and trash bins painted green.

The presence of this vivid, vivacious hue

Was overpowering, and it made me green.

At one point I passed a pair of fluffy dogs,

Her collar was turquoise, his eyes were green.

Then I saw a pair of squirrels run by,

In their mouths they carried acorns, still green.

All this was too much to bear, and my stomach

Began to rumble; I puked up something green.

What is the matter with green, you may ask?

Only that it’s too much of one thing; too much of green.
