Why is it called the blues?
I'm happy when it comes to the color blue.
You have the ocean water,
The Sky,
....The Navy?
Well, not so much the navy.
But you get my drift.
I wish it was called the greens.
Yeah.... the greens.
Because usually when people ask,
Are you feeling blue?
It's usually a green problem.
I'm either sick!
Turning me green.
Or have no money!
Which is green.
Or I'm angry...
Like Incredible Hulk green.
Yeah... it's the greens.
Mom use to make me eat them.
Broccoli, celery, you name it.
I ate the greens;
And I hate the greens.
And it's a fact,
That if someone were to piss on my blue day
....Will turn it Green!
Yeah... I got the greens.
Nothing makes me feel more blue
.... Than green.
