Red Squirrel In The Snow
Red Squirrel in the snow.
It’s the wrong time of year, I know.
And before you point out, as I don’t want to fight,
I know it’s not red, it’s black and white…
Month: August 2016
Global Warning
I’ve added some half finished sketches to point out the disappearing natural world…
Hotter summers, droughts & fires.
Milder winters, storms & flooding.
Climate talks are full of liars,
they’ll promise change, deliver nothing.
Ice caps melt, sea levels rise.
Air filled with toxic pollution,
yet governments still spin their lies,
they’re the cause, not the solution.
Fossil fuels that burn & choke,
producing goods to throw away.
Chimneys bellow thick acrid smoke,
the greatest threat we face today.
Habitats are being replaced,
ancient forests cleared for cattle.
Wild animals being displaced.
Environment losing the battle.
We have to change our way of life,
new ideas desperately needed.
We’re starting to pay a heavy price.
Capitalism must be succeeded.
Greed is put before good practice,
we can’t allow the status quo.
We must act now to try and stop this.
Speak up my friends, and tell them NO!
The Leopard
Coiled like a spring on the branch up high
Just lying in wait for her prey to come by
Why Do Owls Hoot?
As Moon rose up
And made Wolf howl
She woke up Tawny Frogmouth Owl
Wolf gave Owl
Such a fright
Hoots were heard throughout the night
Lazy Lion
Lazy lion dozing on the savannah plain
in the heat of the midday sun
You look so noble with your golden mane
Oh crap, he’s awake… Run!!!
War Child (part 2)
Little lad, on the bright orange chair
Blood on your face, dust in your hair
In your eyes, a thousand yard stare
Will the world stop this madness
Or does it even care?
The Bumblebee
Let’s look after the bumblebees
Little heroes one and all
They pollinate the plants and trees
Without them, life here will stall
A major link in Earth’s synergy
An ecology that we all need
And if the last one disappears
So will we with similar speed
Pesticides which make them ill
Are being used on an industrial scale
Without the little bumblebee
Flowers won’t bloom and crops will fail
Toilet Humour In Fairie Land
Tinklebell was sat upon the loo
Just reading ‘Elf Weekly’ while having a poo
When out from the corner of her eye
She saw a sight that made her sigh
The panic struck right to her soul
She’d forgotten to replace the empty loo roll
Three Bears
Three bears came home to find the front door was wrecked
Mama bear said ‘Stay here, till I’ve thoroughly checked’
She entered the hallway saw mud on the floor
That lead right up to the dining room door
She noticed the table had one broken chair
In an empty porridge bowl was a long golden hair
The tracks lead to the bedroom, she could hear someone snore
She called the police after locking the door
And in the end, it all worked out fine
They’d caught Goldilocks the burglar who is now doing time
The Wolf
The moon shone brightly on a clear, crisp night
and the wolf howled.
The creatures in the forest all took flight
as the wolf prowled.
