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
