Fantasy is Going GreenA Poem by Scott FreeOne day I thought 'Hey, how would the elves and the dwarves and all those other fantastical creatures feel about global warming and what we've done to the environment?' I wrote down eleven words that rhymed with environment and wrote this.
I’m warning you all, the situation is dire,
All Faerie has risen in anger and ire,
They’ve come out of their retirement,
Humans are bad for the environment.
Every old dragon’s come out of his lair,
“Your bad greenhouse gases have poisoned the air!”
They are done letting their anger ferment,
‘Cause humans have wrecked the environment.
The elves are armed up against every nation,
It seems that they’ve heard of mass deforestation,
Since of their forest we’ve taken fifty percent,
They’ve come to protect the environment.
The brownies are small, this is their distinction;
But they’re still rankled over species’ extinction,
Natural habitats have taken a dent,
Humans are bad for the environment?
The dwarves are fed up with our strip mining habits,
Ripping up the earth like burrowing rabbits,
Since we haven’t given them even one cent,
They say that we’re bad for the environment.
The mermaids are angry beyond solution,
I’ll tell you; it’s ‘cause of oceanic pollution,
The sea’s resources are being spent,
Humans have soiled the environment.
Grab up your weapons! Protect the home soil!
Defend our refineries, save all our oil!
On our defeat all fantasy is bent,
‘Cause humans are bad for the environment.
