The Climerick’s Quite an Invention by John Hobbs



The Climerick’s quite an invention,

With a tale to grab your attention.


Its recital of fact


Should inspire you to act,


And stimulate real intervention.

Here’s a CLIMERICK COUPLET for Earth Hour

 Here’s a CLIMERICK COUPLET for Earth Hour


Earth Hour is a time to reflect,

On industrial scales of neglect,

Through damaging ways

That profits are made,

That don't treat the earth with respect.

 

But we can bring pressure to bear,

By taking our business elsewhere,

And not staying mute

About those that pollute

Or show that they simply don't care.

“If we don’t pay some heed



“To our planetary need,

“We are facing eventual demise!”

To Switzerland our hats we doff:

Snow playground of many a toff.

But as climate change bites

There’s less snow on the heights

And skiers are rather piste-off!


Prompted by a recent news item in Canada that some Swiss villages which have traditionally been ski resorts have closed their ski facilities due to lack of snow.

CLIMERICK: You Water Down Policies Green by Margaret Beardshaw

You water down policies green. 

So the flood waters surge o'er our dreams,

as the arctic ice thaws,


forests die without pause,


and our future can barely be seen.
