The Reflecting Pool has turned to green,
The nicest green you’ve ever seen
We spent millions to turn it blue;
Oh whatever shall we do?

How’d it go green? No one knows;
If they do, they won’t disclose.
An attack of algae? Verdant mold?
It’s a secret; no one’s been told.

Green is the color of Iran’s flag:
Perhaps their spies with green tea bags,
Snuck in and played a little joke,
Our thin-skinned President’s eye to poke.

Or maybe the ecologists, some call them the Greens,
Colored the water to make a scene.
Or Kermit the frog wanted to show
That being green isn’t easy, you know.

Let’s see if peroxide can lighten the affair,
Like it did for Dolly Parton’s hair.
We’ll shock the pool with chemicals bold,
In hopes that clarity will finally take hold.

And then we’ll install a nanobubble*,
So the greenness won’t give us no more trouble.
But I wonder: how can a bubble that small
Accomplish anything at all?

Our Government works in wondrous ways;
We live in the midst of the finest days,
When our National Pool, once tending to blue,
Chooses pea-soup and olives to render its hue.

Pathetic:

Ironic:

Moronic:
