Bush's Ecological Blinders *

Bush isn't buying evolution.
Can't conceive of climate change.
Doesn't fathom air pollution,
But he loves his Stock Exchange.

CO-2 he thinks refers to
The doubling up at Viacom,
Or the newest Star Wars creatures –
Not to Cheney's homemade bomb.

So intrigued by privatizing,
No way will he give an inch
Till he finds the oceans rising
Flooding pals at Merrill Lynch.

Three hundred feet's a lot of water
For a mayor and his Jets.
Will they be The Mayor's Otters
Or Bush & Bloomberg's New York Wets?
