KILMER'S "TREES" UPDATED, (Giorgio's version)
I fear that I shall never view
A spoof that gobbles CO2.
Rough drafts - their scribbled nest o’erflows
The Blue-Box prest against my toes.
And spoofs get hungry – ask their sire -
For watts that flow down printer wire.
Both home and office still it seems
Consume their daily MegaReams.
Once de-composed, spoofs’ souls will pass
Into the stock of greenhouse gas.
(The ozone loss from page and line
Intimidates the Northern Pine).
God’s Earth will fry ere Hell may freeze;
Save forests, don’t print parodies.

The Blue-Box prest against my toes.
And spoofs get hungry – ask their sire -
For watts that flow down printer wire.

Consume their daily MegaReams.
Once de-composed, spoofs’ souls will pass
Into the stock of greenhouse gas.

Intimidates the Northern Pine).
God’s Earth will fry ere Hell may freeze;
Save forests, don’t print parodies.
