I am not sure whether this ditty works best with or without the last line. Opinions from Spherians?
The End of the World
This we indubitably know:
Our world shall burn to ash.
No child shall thrive, no plant shall grow,
We told you so. We told you so.
Hell’s teeth will surely gnash.
Alas, alas, our ways are crass
And they are waxing crasser
And presently will come to pass
The long predicted death of grass
From Baffin to Kinshasa.
The bitter draughts we have to drain
Will soon be here in crates:
Ozone depletion, acid rain,
All factored in to cause us pain
By the United States.
So Green Peace estimates.
