There once was a fellow named Gore
He wasn't who started the war
He championed earth
for all he was worth
but still kept his meat-eating flaw

If you wouldn't dare munch on linoleum
Or guzzle down sulfuric oleum
Eating red 40 lake
Is a grievous mistake:
It's derived from coal tar and petroleum!

There once was a school teaching "Green" education
Whose children were honored for their dedication.
It was hard going green
The Budget was lean
So fundraisers were a part of their recreation.

There was a tree hugger named Dave,
Who thought solar power was "rave!"
But he couldn't afford
En' an old power cord,
So a solar oven he made!

There was a young gal from LA
Who drove in her car every day.
Her gas bill went sky high,
And she started to cry,
"There's got to be a better way!"

Obama is our new leader
He's just another preacher
He's the first black President
He's the White House's Resident
Well, Of course he is!

One day the planet will be sighing
in pleasure you see, not in crying
for people everywhere
will enjoy going bare
in a world cleaned up by our trying

Mother Nature is a serious girl
we should take care and not leaves things awhirl
Tend to her needs,
pick up litter, plant seeds
and her oyster will give us a pearl.

Abuse of her, well we should ban it!

We all live on this Earth and we all have the right t
o be healthy and safe so let's answer Earth's plight.
Let's recycle what can be
recycled and then we
can clean up all the rest and keep it out of sight!

I learned about photovoltaic
With panels that look like mosaic
Sun voltage and amps
To power our lamps
Should make fossil fuels archaic.
I m taking a class solar thermal
And follow the sun s path diurnal.
My face may not show
How much I now know,
But the grade at the end of the term ll.
Another resource is wind power
With turbines atop a high tower.
The wind on the hill
Can lower one s bill
To no cents per kilowatt hour.
You can tell I like energy clean
Burning coal, oil and gas is obscene
Wave power and tidal
Are not suicidal.
Our environment needs to be green

Help the planet live long and prosper
Even though we dont have alot to offer
Out of stupidity, we have destroyed our home
When it is gone, there will be no where to roam
It is not too late to turn around and fix this
Otherwise the Earth will drift into the abyss

There once was a people so confused
they thought life was for all to abuse
but one day it came clear:
they would cherish life dear
and delight in repair they would choose.

There once was a tree that was dying.
To it's branches, a crow went flying.
A young girl heard
the crow's sad word
and helped it live as it was trying.

In a clear-cut there is one tree standing,
still striving in spite of demanding
people who can not see that the bare lot is a wound on this Earth from their handing.

RACIAL POLARIZATION AND THE UNPROTECTED BLACK BEAR
When the polar bear charged round the bend,
Said the black bear, "Chill out, my white friend.
It's not the color of hair
That defines the whole bear,
So let's both be glad we're not skinned."

There was a shopper named Claire whose gift idea list was bare.
The Earth she wants green,
with air and water clean,
so she chose people's gifts with care.

There once was some trash in a pile
So tall it reached as high as a mile
But then folks said
"Let's make compost instead"
Fruit trees and flowers did smile
