Get it right, COP26
a message to world leaders travelling to the climate conference
A poem for COP26 the 2021 United Nations climate change conference to be held in Glasgow, Scotland with a nod towards ‘the rhythm and blues classic ‘(Get your kicks on) Route 66.’
If you’re smart and know what’s best,
Travel your way, take the skyway head out west,
Join the rich on COP26.
Head to Glasgow from L.A.
Burning jet fuel all the way,
You’ll need that tick … COP26.
River flooding in Saint Louis,
Wind in Missouri,
Winter Oklahoma ain’t so pretty.
Hot in Amarillo,
Shame ‘bout New Mexico,
Warm in Arizona
Don’t forget Winona
Kingsman, Barstow, San Bernadino.
Earth’s off its axis … it’s about to tip,
Make it count that Glasgow trip,
Don’t just talk… COP26.
It’s time to right the sinking ship:
Don’t make this a wasted trip
Just get it right COP26!
Just get it right COP26!
Just get it right COP26!
