Stir the Air

Take a spoon and stir the air
  What pollutants do you find there

Your fence is rotting, pull out a stake
  Now it's got a huge toothache

Pull down a rake and comb your lawn
  Which side is the part on

In your sidewalk, count the cracks
  Step in one, get dog-doo back

Climb your steps and ring the bell
  It's out-of-order, what the hell

You must have been reading about the U S Navy providing drinking water tainted with jet fuel to the military to commemorate 07.XII.41?
