Secondary Fundraisers

 

 “If your old don’t try to change yourself, change your environment.”
                                                 ~B.F. Skinner

Let’s throw a party to support wildlife.  Antennae
headbands will be a requirement.  Circles of fine
men and women, environmentalists, will be there.
Clear plastic cups and cutlery made from recycled
materials will inspire us.  Eyelashes elongated by
Maybelline, and lids sporting psychedelic, metallic
eye shadow will make all the women look more like
butterflies .  Sidling up next to the token CEO, our
prettiest organizer will flash her pearly whites while
holding a glass of champagne demurely.

Shoulder to shoulder, when it is time to dance, we
will step first one direction, then the other, following
the Native American chieftain that we’ve hired for
the occasion.  Our decorations must have all to do
endangered species and national parks, etc.  Roads
will be a secondary concern for the government.
for a few months.  Interpreted signs will be the talk
of the town.  Accessories handcrafted by artisans
will be on display or given as party favors.  That
will be the party of the year. Older folks will love it.

Whether or not you attended this event, I like to image you did.

I love the body of this. Two paragraph blobs.

Perfect quote for the piece. Perfect title.

this is quite interesting...it has strong sarcasm but blended nicely with truth...we have mistreated so many people, animals and our environment, seemingly out of a feeling of entitlement.

my favorite of yours...

tightly wound into a strongly impactful poem..
