A Well Put Poem On Transplants

I am Green

By Unknown

I grew up in Blue Country

My Parents grew up in Yellow Country.

They tell me I am Yellow

And sometimes we go and visit Yellow Country.

When I am in Yellow Country

I go to school with the Yellow kids.

I dress like the Yellow kids

And I talk like the Yellow kids.

But when I am in Blue Country

I go to school with the Blue kids

I dress like the Blue kids

And I talk like the Blue kids

Sometimes when I am in Yellow Country

I really miss the Blue ways

I guess that the things I do and say,

Are really rather Bluish in color

In the same way, when I am in Blue Country

There are things I miss about Yellow Country

And I am sure the things I do and say

Appear rather Yellowish in color.

All this changing around is so confusing

Blue or Yellow? Who am I really?

I wonder if there is a place where I could just be me

Where the Blue and Yellow could both run free

Sometimes when I am flying

between the two places

I want to stay up there

in the middle of all the races

If only I could stop some place in between

If only I could just be GREEN!
