Carbon Neutral

Submitted by cvining on

Climate change is all around
Creeping on us, makes no sound
Always something else to do
The cars, the wars, a bank or two

The answer: easy! has been found!
Leave that carbon in the ground.
Can we resist these fuels so useful?
And live each day carbon neutral?

Yes, this was the life

Yes, this was the life; saving up pennies on the damp pavement, and then I'll ruin them with dry flour and grease.
