Don'T Fret About Climate Change
Don't fret if the ice caps start to melt,
And the waters start to rise.
There are plenty of man-made mountains about
Should the need arise,
For something to cling to while on your cell phone you try to dial out.
There are mountains of rust and mountains of dust,
Mountains of Bills and mountains of pills.
There are mountains of movies and mountains of smoothies,
Mountains of soap and mountains of dope.
There are mountains of tyres and mountains of liars,
Mountains of seed and mountains of greed.
There are mountains of books and mountains of hooks,
Mountains waste and mountains of paste.
There are mountains of gear and mountains of fear,
Mountains of salt and mountains of debt.
There are mountains of sugar and mountains of tar,
Mountains of butter and mountains of clutter.
There are mountains of words and mountains of swords,
Mountains of fruits and mountains of suits.
There are mountains of laws and mountains of doors,
Mountains of rope and mountains of hope.
Though it is the mountain of ingenuity that gives us the best security.
For if all else fails rockets will prevail,
To take us all, along with our man-made mountains,
And anything else we Fancy,
To the far reaches of the galaxy
Along with Donald and Ronald McDonald.
