Excuse me, but my favorite color isn’t green <br />Even though I live in the city of Bowling Green. <br /> <br />In its history the people played such lively games. <br />On many sunny days their fun was bowling on the Green. <br /> <br />In his boyhood here there lived a man named Duncan Hines. <br />One day you might find his colored cakes in Irish green. <br /> <br />Oh yes, this city is the home of the car Corvette. <br />If it pleases you, you can own one painted blue green. <br /> <br />The school my son attended here was Bowling Green High. <br />His closest friend in French class was Emily Green. <br /> <br />About once a week I visit our Bowling Green Mall. <br />There you can plainly see its signs printed all in green. <br /> <br />With pollution and economy the way they are, <br />I am happy to see the city still going green. <br /> <br /> - October 3,2009 <br /> <br />Published online Dec.21,2009 by The Ghazal Page in the Color Radif Challenge Issue.
