Ode to a Green Monster

I don't think April has written one yet - so I will.

• O Green Monster!


• You are as green as a zombie at nightfall


• You smell like a pound of spinach womped in a blender


• Your edges are raggy and leave my dishes dirty


• The black flecks of blueberries are visable in your skin.




• O Green Monster!


• The cool rush of that first taste


• The sweetness of the banana in the pulp


• The daily decisions; vanilla yogurt or blueberry?


• Blueberries AND pineapple? Or maybe mango?




• O Green Monster!


• You are so easy to sip


• So delightful to consume!


• You look like hot tarmac, but taste like a beach vacation!


• You are oddly addictive...




• O Green Monster!


• Thank you for giving me my daily dose


• of the dreaded five fruits and vegetables!


• Thank you for making it so easy!


• I love you forever, my Green Monster!




• The end!
