After Kermit . . .

Voldemorts Pet Basilisk Nagini laments: It's Not Easy Being Green.

It's not easy being green
A limbless body long and scaly the colour of the trees
I think it would be nice to swim, or walk, or crawl, or soar
Instead I hiss and slither, or coil up on the floor.

Its not easy being green
With slitted yellow eyes that kill when they are seen
And people tend to see me, then they run away and scream
Then when I flash my fangs at them they cringe and turn and hide.

But greens the colour of envy
And green can be cold and menacing like
And green can be forbidding like a forest, or deadly like venom
Or strong and enduring like emeralds

So being green is not so bad
It's sometimes even fun, I think. I always wonder why
But every now and then a parseltongue drops in and it doesn't seem so bad
And I think green is what I want to be.

(With sincerest apologies to Jim Hensen)

Okay, so this is NOT sensible. Had a few minutes on the bus on the way into work.
And no, I don't think I'll ever be taken seriously again! Please R & R.
