| "My Favorite Things (a Parody)" | |
| Written spring 2005 by Erica Rowell and James Wang (polar bear picture by David Morgan) Raindrops on roses Not rose-crushing torrents Lush, healthy wetlands Not flooded New Orleans Rum-flavored hurricanes Not the real thing These are a few of my favorite things. Polar bears playing Vermont maple syrup A glacier-filled Arctic Not a frozen cold Europe Coastlines not eroding Corals not bleaching New FedEx hybrids Fred Krupp' old Prius Solar and wind farms And biofuels will free us From a Mideast oil clench And the risks that that brings Solutions are a few of my favorite things When Limbaugh bites When Mike Crichton writes When EPA redacts I simply remember my favorite things like a climate protection act Hansen and Oppenheimer Trenberth and Karl [who?] Mann, Wrigley, Ruth Curry [oh, climate scientists] Not ExxonMobil Scientific discoveries Not misinformation These are a few of my favorite things Caribou Arctic fox Cute alpine meadows Brilliant fall colors And ski resort snows Beautiful summers And farm fields of green These are a few of my favorite things GE, BP, church groups Kyoto and Blair RGGI states' cap and trade Pavley's clean air Governor Schwarzenegger [Arnold] Not the far right wing These are a few of my favorite things When Inhofe cries When George Bush lies When ExxonMobil muddles the facts I simply remember my favorite things like the climate protection act |
