And here is a dismal poem concerning our Earth
"The world is finite, resources are scarce,Things are bad and will be worse,Coal is burned and gas exploded,Forests out and soil eroded,Wells are dry and air polluted,Dust is blowing, trees are uprooted,Oil is going, ores depleted,Drains receive what is excreted,Fires will rage with man to fan it,Let’s not have a plundered planet."
Let’s protect our Earth!!

She may have to stand on the roof top and look at icky things and she says this would most definitely “Stink.”
