Climate Change Song RAP


.



people move to cities
and become big fatties 
we emit dark smokes
creating carbon skyies


our rivers turns black
you need to have look
no more fish to cook
only receipes in the book


off season rain
breaks weather chain
fine village maids
gets all the pain


lands slides and floods
sink neighbourhoods
we have shortage of foods
now people cutting woods


less and less water
our water becomes shorter
they killed my alligater
I see only a crater


chemicals to the air
it is not really fair
raining of chemicals
saving is a miracle


when oceans take land
we got to run inland
if cutting trees not banned
let deserts be our land


pollution hijacks the world 
arctics looses the cold
if people have the nurve
we can heal the word


so, reduce our wastefull ways
it is coming to end of days
make changes our ways
can't wait for the silver rays


Chorus ..
earth needs healing
climate is changing
are we really dancing
or are we fooling
have you no feeling
problems are breeding
come for the saving
youth are now leading


What I'd Cook For My Teacher

If I cooked hot lunch for my teacher,
I would start out with rattlesnake stew.
Then I’d serve her a centipede salad
And a tall glass of milk mixed with glue.
Next, a seaweed and jellyfish sandwich,
For dessert, an a-chooberry pie.
When she finally finds out what she’s eaten,
I hope the old bat doesn’t die.

Bruce Lansky

Be Creative .. Dont hate your teacher
Reverse this verse to make it a good meal
