The Green Man Passed Away. Poem by SY Wong ...
The Green Man Passed Away.
Today the green man passed away.
He had a wish before he dies;
"Everything must be green."
The robe he's wearing's banana skin.
His coffin is from nana-wood.
For his final touch on his face was the colour green.
"The rest is up to you, I can't change." He said.
Not all who attended wore green.
He also reminded that the fuel for the funeral van must be green.
