WILDLIFE SUFFERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
clearing woodland! really?
makes me feel so teary.
right now my eyes, bleary,
wildlife suffers
once, all mankind, hunters,
nothing left, no grunters!
human beings, shunters!
bald land coiffures
for sustenance, gathered
no land back then, shattered
now the land is battered
us all duffers
much wildlife now extinct
i can't be more succinct
nature won't be hoodwinked
she has buffers
pollution is hurting!
in denial, skirting!
mass extinction, flirting!
closing shutters

You guys in the USA, do you really pronounce really as re al ly, or real ly?
Small gauge large sound
could be trivia profound
Stations and shunters
red lights for the punters
Small member large auto
mobile cars pars pro toto
In silly banter we trust
French letters a must
But remember the other
Freud had a mother
In Victorian Vienna he toiled
his thoughts rather soiled
In mind he bonked on the couch
dirty old man sought to debauch
Those wicked rationalizations
what a treat for all nations
Kill thy father bonk thy pother
plenty of perversity to smother
So deliriously stupid it seems
it is all in all in those dreams
Yet morbid mortality calls
when the man stumbles and falls
He walked a tight sleezy rope
cocaine was his grand old dope
When the wicked go mad
it culminates bad and sad
High volume tiny shackles
still nonsense’s trifle crackles
All quiet again at the libido check out
Sigmund is dead long live the doubt
