Starman

I'm Glinda, the Starman Fairy, 
or, if you want, I can be the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio. 
I'll be whatever you want me to be,
You paid your consulting fee, so 
I'll show up as someone you know. 

You've got a pretty nice planet here,
better than my home planet - the nicest one I've ever seen.
I would sure hate for it to disappear.
Oh, the grape, the apple, the tangerine, 
fields of wheat, seas of aquamarine.  
 
You're facing an existential threat.
Don't take it from corporations or politicians they enlist,
climate change will get much worse yet.
Check the aliens on my client list.
They say, ask independent scientists.

Your people have created wonderful things -
the Great Pyramids, Taj Mahal, Shakespeare, and Machu Picchu - 
and you, too, have nature, from which man springs.  
Well, I must depart, and I'll miss it so - 
would you be sad to see it go?
