Quest
A thing of the past
A confused child asks:
"Mummy, mummy, what is a tree?"
"Well, beta, long ago there used to be
Living things called plants and trees
Which were as pretty as you.
In renewing oxygen they did wonders
Alas, now we live on oxygen cylinders
Because we didn't see their importance
And cut them down in our impatience
The result, as all of us can see
Is a world without a single tree!
Oh! If we'd been a little wise
We wouldn't now live like helpless mice.
Choking without oxygen, we are the cause
Of destroying trees, we've destroyed mankind
And that's why my dear, no trees you'll find
But if you want to see them still,
Go to the museum and there you will.
