CLIMERICK: The Chant of ‘Drill Baby Drill'

 KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN

CONVERSATIONS ALIVE with Climericks

                     

             

So - can a UK poet plead with a former US President and be heard?

I doubt it; but it’s worth a try. And maybe some of my US friends .... will want to send this to their friends..... who will.... 

I can but hope.

Here’s the Climerick plea

The chant of ‘Drill Baby Drill’

is one that will totally kill 

any Climate-wise hope: 

Trump, please kill that trope

while there’s time for R-ecovery still.

CLIMERICKS: Encouragement from HM Charles III

 KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN

CONVERSATIONS ALIVE with... 

My resolve to post Climericks at least twice a week has been maintained, other than a short break recently because we have been away on the beautiful island of Iona where we experienced gales too gusty to walk in safely and cancelled ferries - almost certainly pointing to a future of more similarly adverse weather due to climate change.

And as we return to home to pick up our regular lives, and watch our King and Queen in more exotic locations where climate change threatens island homes, it feels time to remind ourselves of the recognition of the Climericks project, by the King whose Correspondence Secretary, earlier in the year (April) wrote to us from Buckingham Palace:

 

'His Majesty greatly appreciates you sharing your ideas with him on this significant matter, and enjoyed hearing about your creation of climate-themed limericks in order to raise awareness for environmental issues’.

A Churchyard:

In this Little Patch of Creation 

With many churches working to promote the biodiversity in their churchyards, here is a novel way to invite people in. Further Climericks will build on this invitation.

 

In this little patch of Creation,

we invite you to find restoration

for your body and soul,

in this place, with its rôle -

to give peace that will last generations.
