Chartreuse

Chartreuse wanted to quit
Why not?
Figured it would go off somewhere
Be by itself
Maybe let green or yellow take over
Get away from it all!
That’s what chartreuse wanted

Food needs chameleons
What difference would it make
In the immense design of things
If certain feathers were some other color?
Parrots wouldn’t care
Nor would parakeets
But what about the leaves of rhubarb
Oh

Chartreuse began to tremble
Just thinking of the trouble rhubarb make
You know rhubarb
And the rhubarb that rhubarb could cause
So chartreuse decided not to give notice
Not for a while anyway
Besides isn’t that a nervous katydid over there that needs a new coloring?
Of course

Chartreuse
Gonna stay
Because it feels used
