Green Machine

Kermit once said

It ain't easy being green

True unless you live here

In Regina Saskatchewan Canada

Our team is

 the Saskatchewan Rough Riders

I know it sounds like a condom brand 

But we are LOUD and proud

The team color is GREEN 

like grass that feeds cattle

Or new growth of wheat

Or the trees around northern lakes

Or a crisp Canadian $ 20 bill

Or the algae in Wascana lake

Today I worked around the stadium

We played the BC Lions

And we won for once

Not that it matters

Green is loyalty

The color of the eternal optimism 

Of spring 

I stood against the wind

Watching a sea of green 

Watermelon hats and green wigs

Babies in green

Grandmas in green

Green machine 

Bleed green
