As I slept I had this notion
That going green was our devotion
A world where global warming was no longer
And the power of recycling became stronger
So when I woke and prepared for my shower
I told myself, only ten minutes, not 15, nor ½ an hour
And as I brushed my teeth with care
I turned off the water, for some to spare
I contemplated if I should drive or bike to school
I decided on biking, for part of pollution comes from fuel
I waved to a mother and her baby daughter
And wondered if in some time, if they'd be wading in water
I thought to myself, about the things that we could do
To make our world's existence utterly new
I came up with new green actions
That just might start chain reactions...
Recycle paper no matter what you do
Items recycled can be made into something new
Reuse bags when you go to the store
These are tips you cannot ignore
Follow these rules and you will be okay
Trust me, your grandchildren will thank you someday
Just think of everything that you will save
And all the help to our world you gave!
I "recycled" some stanzas from my previous poem, Mother Earth. By the way, Happy Halloween!! Mine was great. Even though everyone's costumes are getting more simple as they grow older. I was a dead/goth ballerina. How was your Halloween?
