Re: Rob's Rhymes
A VIEW FROM ORBIT (on my 'eco' hobbyhorse again)Our world, a marble, blue and white
Around it stars are shining bright
I see the deserts and the seas
and vast patches of green trees
Below, the vapour from a plane
and over there, a hurricane
Mountain ranges white with snow
look like wrinkles way below
The oceans shade from dark to light
All this you see from this great height
And as the world turns far below
I see great cities start to glow
Like misty galaxies of starfire
strung out like diamonds on a wire
I even see the blood red flare
of a volcano erupting over there
And as the world turns again to day
on the Earth's rim far away
a thin blue line stands out clear
the pale transparent atmosphere
So many of mankind's great ambitions
produce waste and vile toxic emissions
There is no place that they can go
They are trapped and build up slow
This fair Earth which we all inhabit
with daggers of pollution we stab it
We must have hope and keep on trying
to stop our world from slowly dying
This is our only home you know
There is no other place to go
Untarnished places are getting fewer
WHY must we treat it like a sewer??

Re: Rob's Rhymes
The red and the greythe experts do say
can not integrate
So is it too late?
The red can't compete
for something to eat
The ubiquitous grey
will take it away
The red lives in the hills
Grey, the lowlands, he fills
But whenever they meet
the red does not eat
The grey is the master
of garden disaster
That greedy grey pig
your bulbs, he will dig
A bird stands no chance
when he does advance
But you've got to admire
his tricks on a wire
He's so acrobatic
and incredibly quick
He's remarkably clever
You'll fool him never
And whatever you do
he'll find a way through
A masterful thief
who'll cause you much grief
The red is so quiet
The grey causes a riot
Has the red had it's day
because of the grey?
