A MOTHER'S TALE
Hush-a-bye my buggy babes and let your mamma tell
How the silent co2 cast its deadly spell.
Burning coal and oil and gas, men did not understand
That there was a price to pay for burning up the land.
When the polar caps declined they said in self-defence
'twas only a brief incident, a mere coincidence.
They left carbon footprints like a buffalo stampede;
Monuments to folly fueled by blind and grasping greed.
Dragging feet like little kids who make a whining noise,
Mankind would not give up any diesel-hungry toys.
When it grew too late to mend their foolish, stubborn ways
They installed fluorescent bulbs to light the poison haze.
Now they're gone and never more their blundering encroaches.
The world belongs to us, my pets; the invincible cockroaches!
