Fantasy is Going Green

One 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.

Author's Note

Are there any problems with the rhyme scheme or the meter or anything? Thanks!
Oh, and you probably know this, but 'Faerie' is the mythical land of elves, giants and (duh) fairies in Medieval superstition.

"All Faerie has" -- I'm wondering if this should be "All Faerie's have".
"out of his lair" - out of their lair maybe?

Other than those two small things, I really enjoyed this. It took me a few minutes to hit the form of rhyming because I wasn't reading it correctly, but once I did it was really good. The parts that were difficult to read because of unknown rhyming were: "They've come out of their retirement,/Humans are bad for the environment." and "They are done letting their anger ferment,/'Cause humans have wrecked the environment".

Otherwise, great read. Keep up the good work! :)

Hahaha....lol...lol...lol. Apart from the fact that the rhythm is somewhat awkward, the idea itself is great. Fantasy characters against the humans? because of pollution? Awesome idea.

This poem has an excellent rhyming sceme and it flowed well. The subject is hilarious and definitely unique. I had never imagined what all those dragons and faries thought of our environmental situation. ;)

I refuse to believe that you won't know that I would LOVE this write!
Of course I am bias because I love your gift!
But this is dynamagic! (my word I think)

You've used a somewhat metaphoric exchange (in my view) to express your convictions perfectly...
And
I LOVE it!

Very well done my friend... Very well done!
Thank you for asking me to stop by!
