To move things forward, to move things ahead.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 654 (No More Oil?)

It would not be a good thing, no doubt-

If suddenly, all of the oil ran out.

.

For no one would be spared-

As no one is prepared.

.

We depend on it in our daily lives-

For pleasure, for work, for our daily drives.

.

It would be a worldwide stump-

To head to a gas station, only to meet an

empty pump.

.

We don’t really know how much is left in the

earth-

As we continue to use it for all its worth.

.

To stop and think for a while-

As to how the loss of it might cramp our style.

.

It would not be a good thing, no doubt-

If suddenly, all of the oil ran out.

Three That Disappear (2011)

1. Ghosts.

2. Oil in the Gulf.

3. Other things that we do
not want to acknowledge.
======================
Out of sight, out of mind-
Many times, is what we tend
to find.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 996 (To Save The Pristine Land)

The tar sand oil to travel from Canada, to the Texas Gulf Coast-

All through the United States, with many jobs to “boast”.

.

To China, from the Gulf of Mexico, around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope-

Or around, South America’s Cape Horn, the tar sand oil ships will cope.

.

Will simply be called Tar Sands Road to China, a similiar route-

To the famous Silk Road, that moved Asian goods, to

western markets, for thousands of years, without a doubt.

.

Seems like a long and tedious route, but never the less-

Some think it feasible, and will serve the country best.

.

An idea has come up now and then-

For the oil to travel across the Canadian Rocky Mountains,

to the Pacific Ocean.

.

 

But, Canadian Environmentalists and Native Indian Nations

know that it could destroy their pristine land-

And, work hard to oppose the idea, while working hand in hand.

1. To slap on a sandwich.

2. To add to the potato salad.

3. To use as a mixture to save

Not just on a whim-
Mayo is fed a saved turtle, to
help rid the Gulf oil, that has
been ingested into their system.

Three Truly Sticky (2016)
