CLIMERICK: If You’re Part of the Great Band of Cleaners

  KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN



St Cuthbert’s Island, off Lindisfarne, Northumbria.
An islet under threat from rising sea levels. The islet
has been adopted by Eco-Verses as
a symbol of the global risk to low-lying places.


This couplet is part of a set which is addressed to all sorts of trades and professions, especially those which have large numbers - and might get overlooked by policy-makers. It reinforces the fact that Climate chaos affects EVERBODY.


If you’re part of the great band of cleaners 

who sometimes feel you are ‘not-seeners’,

this is time to break-out

and raise up a shout,

‘Clear the mess that’s been made by ‘No-Greeners’’.

 

How to do that’s not easy to know,

so, while you are out on the go,

place a climerick where

lots of people might stare

which says ‘Turn off the dirty fuel flow.’
