MY GERBIL NAMED BEN

My hamster drank water from the Flint River today,
He turned into a grasshopper and then hopped away,
And, my gerbil named Ben,
Drank the water and then,
Became a bear and I was his prey.

A CHEAP PLACE FOR A SQUAT AND FREE MEAL

I live in a tiny tin shack on top of a hill,

I am just squatting atop a chemical landfill,

The ground is quite runny,

And  it smells really funny,

There's a big choice of fresh meat, I didn't pay for or kill.

WHEN I DRINK I FIND SOME THINGS

In my Tuesday coffee mocca, I found someone's lost toenail,

It was big and olive green, and it made me turn quite pale,

The nail was from a big toe,

Not flat, it had a bow,

Now I find an earwax glob, floating in my Wednesday ale.

CROAK GOES THE WEASEL

I wish up in Canada, they'd stop the smoking,

So that people in Michigan, could stop choking,

It just ain't at all fair,

There's smoke clouds everywhere,

I saw a weasel gasp for air, I think he was croaking

CANADIAN FIRES AND I''M MISSING THE FAIR

Horrible air, just about everywhere,

It comes from Canada, it's like breathing hair,

If the lungs get more filled, 

I'm afraid I am killed,

I doubt that I make it to the Fall Harvest Fair.

ONE PERSON'S TOILET IS ANOTHER PERSONS...

Ed didn't know there were so many peasants, until Ed took a leak,

Ed found a hundred peasants, swimming in the public pee-in creek,

It was no surprise,

They had infected eyes,

They also had runny blisters, but care they lacked the funds to seek.

EPITAPH OF THE PLASTIC FACE RACE

There once was a planet, way out in space,

They loved their plastics, even put them in their face,

But plastic poisons the inside,

All life died, planet wide, 

That's how it ended, for the human race.

NO BIG FISH TO FISH

No big fish in the lake so, I'm not fishing,

Too much algae so, no fish fry dishing,

Now, in my free time I mow lawn,

Fertilize it at break of dawn,

But, it's time threading worms I be wishing.

MY LIFE NEXT TO A CHEMICAL PLANT

The well water from my tap looks really funny,
It's brown and gooey and not very runny,
Now, it might be caused by the chemical plant next door,
And, what they were dumping the night before,

But, at least it's easier to breathe the air,
For what they dumped on the ground was not burned in their care,
And, at least in part it was answered; my healthy environment prayer,
 For only in part do I have a toxic chemical scare.
