Impatient Mother Nature
I spoke with Mother Nature yesterday
I asked her about those bleached reefs
I asked her about our felled forests
I asked her about her hurricane program
and why is it taking her so long
to crack off that piece of Antarctica
and flood the IRT and the BMT
in the subway system of The Big Apple
and Mother Nature told me that she
finally lost patience with us, so
she cooked up an effective virus.
