Red Fish, Dead Fish!A Poem by Rose Downinganother funny poemOne fish,
Two fish, Red fish,
Dead fish!
Oh so many dead fish I see,
all poisoned by the factory!
Poisoned water, poisoned air,
poison here poison there,
poison poison everywhere!
The factory spews out it's slurry and sludge,
smoke dust and walsply who gludge.
The make so many zinger zaroos, and wilpety willbows,
and I hear they even make ten inch d****s!
Birdes and fish must die every day,
so you can have bats in gunmetal grey,
TVs, Frisbees and big balloons
and merchandise made for your kids cartoons.
It's normal and sound, but pollutes all around!
Why can't it leave town, or just burn to the ground?
Why can't we just shut the whole factory down?
'Cuse it gives jobs!
Jobs for slobs!
It gives jobs to jobless slobs!
People need money! People need cash!
For food, shelter and bowls of Who Hash!
They want TVs, balloons and Frisbees to throw!
And where would you be without your 10 inch d***o!
Where would you be without your carpets and rugs,
zappers for bugs and all of your drugs?
Would you rather be Amish, so simple and square?
Farm grazing, barn razing without any care?
You don't want a sustainable society.
Not when consumerism love all of you
and me and he and she and the chimpanzee
all agree that we are an evolved and free society.
Storeys and songs aren't enough any more!
We want computer, cable and stuff from the store!
Who wants to make candles with Nana and Pops,
when we could go to the mall and shop till we drop,
eat slops, drinks pops, pay taxes for cop,
drink beer made from hops,
and never ever grow crops!
We can ride our zinger zaroos to where the hookers hang out,
or just load up on junk food and laze all about.
So what if the air is starting to grow hair,
if plants can't grow there, or if fish become rare?
we need cosmetics, prosthetics, and a kinetic controller
and some lotion, 'cuse pollution can make you look older.
So if death is the price, I say "Let it be!"
At least you and me
can be free, you see,
in a progressively
modern society!
