CLIMERICK: Too Many MPs

Earth amidst trees

 Geenbelt Christian Arts Festival 2023

Too many MPs take a view

That their power’s more important than you.

So they won’t look long term,

Though the planet could burn,

if the fossil fuel market endures.

 

 

CLIMERICK- A Celeb Who Once Walked The Coast

I know I won’t be alone in finding it hard to believe that intelligent people are among those who still don’t believe the Climate Catastrophe is here NOW and human induced. Here’s my reaction to a recent piece of denialism.

Eco-Limerick 2

A celeb who once walked the Coast

Of the UK, has been heard to boast

That the planet’s not warming,

Absurdly ignoring,

Countless experts who’re sure it will roast!

Seals and White Horses (on a Lindisfarne Sandbank)

                            

Seals on Lindisfarne Sandbank

Staying once again on the beautiful Holy Island of Lindisfarne and privileged to be able to watch the tides from the lounge and bedroom windows. Sunday 10 days ago we experienced a wild wind which roared up the sound, so I tried to capture the moment and ... consider the future.

Seals and White Horses

(on a Lindisfarne Sandbank)

 

Twice a day,

some twenty score of seals

languidly allow themselves to succumb

to the encroaching sea,

as it steadfastly overwhelms

their sandbank resting-place.

 

But on this tide

a stampede of white horses

chases them

into forced retreat

before a fast-running tide,

driven by ferocious wind.

 

This wind has roared across the Atlantic

having wrought devastation-by-flooding

prior to leaving its last landfall.

 

Yet more extreme weather

resulting from the

undeniable climate chaos,

discerned by the truth-seeking,

broad-based research

of rightly sombre scientists.

 

Too soon, the sandbanks

will be permanently submerged.

 

No respite then for seals.

CLIMERICK - There Are Some Who Lean toThe Right

There Are Some who lean To The Right

With a government being pressured by its ‘grandees’ to drop an already far too modest programme of ‘green’ policies, I judge it time to begin a series Eco Limericks. Here’s the first.

There are some who lean to the right,

Who think fossil fuels are alright.

These fools will not see

They themselves, you and me

Will soon suffer the dinosaurs’ plight.

(It is predominantly, but not exclusively, people on the right of the political spectrum who argue that Climate calamities  are not associated with continuing fossil fuel use. This is written especially for them!)
