Ode to Mother Earth

In honor of Earth Day, I thought I’d write a little ditty honoring this great planet where we live.

Round and round and round she goes
When she’ll stop, nobody knows

We hope she’ll keep spinning for quite a while yet
And avoid being hit by a speeding comet

She’s greenish and bluish and surrounded by stars
Also we think she’s way cooler than Mars

One moon, rocky mountains, and a whole lot of trees
although we do wonder what’s up with the bees

She’s majestic, she’s magic, especially the beaches
Which is why people give all those “save the earth” speeches

She’s warming all over
Except where she’s cooling
Did I mention the beaches?
they make me start drooling

Whether or not you think she’s in imminent danger
To responsible conservation, please don’t be a stranger

Cause this awesome planet?
she’s all that we’ve got
and we’d like to keep her from getting real hot.

(except for the beaches where it’s hot a whole lot)

It’s the last day of green giveaways at Seattle Mom Blogs! Stop on by to be entered into giveaways for Georgeously Green, brand-new Method baby products, local Belli skincare products, flushable and biodegradable gDiapers, and Kids Klutter Katchers.

Happy Earth Day!
