“Use it up, wear it out <br />Make it do- or do without-“ <br />My mother was a child <br />of the Depression. <br /> <br />Her carbon footprints were quite small <br />As she never drove at all <br />She didn’t fly <br />Or like to air condition. <br /> <br />Al Gore, on the other hand, <br />Just pretends to be the man. <br />He heats his house with oil <br />and it’s a mansion. <br /> <br />He drives an S.U.V. <br />when he comes to lecture me <br />On inconvenient truths <br />of earths’ condition. <br /> <br />It’s the scandal of the age <br />this environmental sage <br />Uses private jets <br /> to get to his appointments. <br /> <br />I’m awaiting Tipper’s book <br />About this eco crook <br />It’s a tell all titled: <br />Al Gore won’t Recycle<br /><br />John F. McCullagh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/al-gore-doesn-t-recycle/
