Jungle is my color
A million shades of green
The type of green that glistens
The greenest green you’ve seen
Within this deep green jungle
Are specks of forest fruits
Are subtle tones of tree bark
Are hidden hues of roots
My mind is painted jungle
The color of my dreams
It calms my inner clockwork
It simplifies my schemes
They say that green is envy
For jealous emerald moods
They say the grass is greener
They say a green mind broods
But I think green is peaceful
A forest full of trees
I think green is silence
A leaf caught on the breeze
The jungle chose this color
Instead of red or blue
Instead of gold or silver
No other hue would do
And jungles are not jealous
They do not envy seas
They don’t desire deserts
They’re favoured by the trees
No leaves are quite so lucky
No air is quite so clean
The jungle envies no one
No grass is quite so green
What shade of jade is jungle?
What color code you ask?
I’ll try my best to answer
But struggle with this task
The tint of lazy tree frogs
Wet moss upon a stone
A canopy of tree ferns
The place where green is grown
Jungle is my color
I’m proud to see in green
A green that I call jungle
The greenest green I’ve seen

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
