I Used to be Brown
As a kid,
I was crazy 'bout the autumns.
I loved all 'em shades of brown.
But I grew up to learn
it was the wrong color.
I had been naïve to go
for yellows and browns.
But I ain't no fool, sir.
I've learned
and have changed
if you will,
over to green:
The color of the dollar bill.
