The Guy in the Light Green Shirt

The guy in the light green shirt
with the collar turned up

at the end of Grease
just kills me.

Great dancer
and when he does

that little Groucho Marx thing?
Are you kidding me?

Great dancer
and when I think

of all that practice
and all those years of study?

I have to wonder
who the guy was

in the light green shirt
with the collar turned up

at the end of Grease.
And how the world

could’ve wasted him.
It ain’t right

it ain’t even close
to right.
