JOB OPENING
The fine filigree and delicate design
of the white frozen image on
my windowpane;
The spectacular sunsets
with so many shades of
red, orange and coral;
The clouds of many sizes,
colors and reminding shapes;
The aspens and Chinese elms
each fall;
Snowflakes tailor-made
all this and more tell me
that Our Good Mother Nature
is a talented and dedicated artist.
But she is getting frivolous
and side-tracked.
She neglects her major responsibility.
As evidence I enclose her
rendition of toothpaste glaciers.
It could be that she is just angry
about Global Warming.
However, she is boss of the whole world
and has some major responsibilities
for keeping hurricanes calm
and volcanoes cool
and deserts watered.
Instead she is off doing this artist thing.
Her traditional art makes our world more beautiful,
but toothpaste icebergs are just too much.
Let us fire her and hire an engineer or handyman
that will be less interested in art
and more in fixing up the world.
Maybe we can then hire Mother Nature
as our decorator.
