TALKIN' TIL I'M GREEN IN THE FACE!!

My plants know that I have gone nuts--
I rave at them each day!
I jabber first, and then I SING--
they're glad I just can't play

that violin I threaten with--
the strings, they are all shot.
So they're stuck with my babble-ing--
and that's their noisy lot!

They're frightened that I'll kill them all;
I am no good with plants;
they make me green 'cause then they think
they'll have a better chance!!

Their green-ness has rubbed off on me,
I see it in the glass--
it's rubbin' off cause I have been
just talkin' like an ass!

So, now I'm GREEN--it hasn't helped
their chances to survive!
They know silk plants will fare better
'cause they are not alive!!
