Mother Nature's Want Ad

Mother Nature ran a want ad In this year's Farmers Almanac Seems these days she's wearing thin With the progress made by modern man She needs a little extra help With the here and there and there about The whole earth needs a good sweeping From the ocean floors to the river streams From high above to down below All of the trash that has been thrown With all the extra mess around She can't keep up with the dusting down That is why she placed the ad In hopes of getting help with that Resumes started pouring fast From North to South, East to West So many from around the globe Who would have guessed, who could have known There were so many that were keen In wanting to keep the Planet clean Right then and there on the spot She hired them all, the entire lot She gave them brooms, their own dust pans Sent them all throughout the land To every crevice, every crook To give the world a spit shine look So many helpers worked that day Into the yawning wee hours late Until the earth was spic and span Every water splash, every grain of sand From underneath to over top Everyone had cleaned it up Bi-weekly now she runs the ad Inside the Farmers Almanac
