Yes, We are Green



.
.
Cheerleader, linebacker, honor society:
Marge was voluptuous, Lars smoked cigars –
Innocence’ blush next to blunt Notoriety -
Blundun High’s brightest and sexiest stars.
.
“Wedding bells soon!” opined Reverend Clarence –
So when the news came, were we taken aback
to learn, with the blessings of all of their parents,
Lars now was Lacey, and Marge was now Mack.
.
“I was he, now I’m she,” giggled Lars-become-Lacey.
“Try it sometime,” grunted Mack-who’d-been-Marge.
They both flushed hot pink. “Now everything’s racy.
Large things get smaller, and small things get large.”
.
Mack, suddenly solemn, said: “Yes, we are green.
Some biochemists say green can make legible
something impelling our systems may mean
us to do. To morph flesh into vegetable.”
.
Lacey’s never solemn: “What fun, one thinks!
To make the ineffable loop”
(Lacey excitedly blinks)
“to salaciously savory vegetable soup!”
