An Earth Day Poem

O Earth, O Earth, I love you so.

If not for you, where would I go?
My house would not sit on the ground,
But lost in space, would float around.
And if, perchance, I had to pee,
I could not behind a tree.
I could drink no Scotch nor eat a peach,
Nor take a walk upon a beach.
I could not swim nude but in my dreams
Without your oceans, lakes and streams.

For you, I sort my paper and glass,
And support efforts to limit the production of greenhouse gas.

O, Earth, O, Earth, you are so grand!
I love your dirt, your snow, your sand!
I love your bobcats, bears and hawks!
Your birds that chirp and birds that squawk!
I don’t adore your twisters and quakes.
But, still, I think you’re pretty great.
You give me sun, shade and food,
O, Earth, you are so awesome, Dude.
