Climate Change

You swore to love me ‘til rivers ran dry

And birds no longer filled the sky

And fish no longer filled the sea

And every flower lost its bee––

‘Til the North Pole melted, and South Pole, too,

And blue skies were no longer blue

And forests lacked both tree and bear––

I see you meant a brief affair.
