Climate Change

Long ago upon the shore, the last remaining Stegosaur A chill wind blew where ferns once used to sway And this may not be topical, but dinosaurs were tropical Yet now the sky was overcast and grey This Stegosaur would not grow old, his land was getting dark and cold Volcanoes making ash clouds every day The Stegosaur could not survive, he lost his fight to stay alive So Stegosaurs are not around today And when the atmosphere was clearer, in a far, far later era A rock from outer space lit up the sky The dinosaurs were out of luck, even those that tried to duck That boulder didn't simply pass on by Cretaceous world... incinerated, ice age came... refrigerated Though there were quite a few years in between The sabre tooth, a bully, ate pachyderms all wooly, And snow lay thick where ancient ferns had been And cavemen wearing mammoth skins, unkempt hair and bearded chins Only went by foot or log canoe Yet in a climate cold and cruel, never burnt no fossil fuel Producing very little CO2 Then the sea reclaimed the land and mammoths made their final stand The world a little warmer every day No factory, no aeroplane, no diesel car which might explain The fact that climate change was underway So dinosaurs and stone-age man and wooly mammoths roamed this land And sometimes it was cold and sometimes hot Yet now we’re busy making plans for planes to run on rubber bands Perhaps it’s just a load of Tommy-rot For now it’s hotting up again and we’re all told that we’re to blame And none of us can disregard the facts We’ve got it wrong in lots of ways, including fancy holidays And by the way we want a bit more tax! So, Extinction Rebellion just splash a little smelly on Get out and have some fun before you die For whilst it’s true, I must confess, the climate’s in a royal mess But who’s to blame may not be you or I.
