An Ode To Greta Thunberg

An ode to Greta Thunberg

Where’s Greta Thunberg? 
I’ve missed her daily rant
I guess she’s back in Sweden 
outside a nuclear plant
Or is she content and satisfied
the CO levels are down
Or is she modelling in Vogue 
her drabbest dressing gown?
Where is Greta Thunberg?
the world's a quieter place
Two more years of shut down
and we’ll never see her face
Sweden is lucky to have her,
a visionary sure as hell
In ten years, they’ll say her name
 and it won’t ring a bell
Please stay in isolation 
with whoever writes your view
And takes all your money, 
you’ve made a million or two
The world's a better place now, 
your work is surely done
Let’s finish the kid's protests 
and let them have some fun.
