Mitch wants to own a mountain,
Blow it up,
Blow it higher than a kite.
Wants to see his mountain
All torn up,
Just to get the anthracite.
What if it's bituminous?
No hard coal?
Only soft that's dirty when it burns?
Reduce another mountain
To a knoll.
Keep dynamiting while he learns.
Why fret
About what were the valleys
And the rivers he'll pollute?
He won't
Ever have to live there.
Why'd McConnell give a hoot?
As long as he is re-elected,
He's in Washington, D.C.
Until climate change retaliates
And drowns him in the deep blue sea.
