Lost in translation

I just posted something in my Dutch blog, which is pretty hard to translate. I wrote about something that was funny in Dutch, because it rhymed, but in English, it does not rhyme if translated literaly.



I've been breaking my head over how to try and translate this for my English blog...

Dutch: Het groene boekje en het gele doekje

The best I could manage was: "The book is green, the cloth is to clean".



But this is not nearly as funny in English as it was in Dutch.
