Letter to the Editor - Green Heaven

It was a night to celebrate
            the Green goals had been won.
The last coal mine was firmly shut
            and all adored the sun.
Their panels covered all the flats
            and turbines spiked the hills.
The young got stoned on ethanol
            and oldies got the bills.
The cows were freed from bails and yards
            and drilling was rejected.
The rich folk got electric cars
            the poor got disconnected.
But then the weather got quite cold
            the sun it hibernated.
The power failed, no coal was mined,
            most folk refrigerated.
