Walk the crinkly floor,
Hark the enchanting orchestra;
Damp air, pulpy savour,
Chants of harmonious mantra:
'Green mother, hallowed Queen of beauty,
Welcomes all to the jungle, lush and fruity.'

.

Clumps of moss, bunches of foliage,
flourishing on sentinels; havens of monkeys.
Towering above in height and age.
Creeping lianas, precious wild lilies.
Orchids of white and yellow,
Dazzle in excitement, "hello!"

.

Blessed with elephants and lemurs,
Ever pulsing with life beyond measure,
Each to the sick offering cures,
Bustle in magic and fervour.
If asked to describe what you've seen,
Simply reply, 'The colour is green!'
