It’s a Steal

Tis a funny kind of deal,,

To take  back the steel,

For so long it’s been hated,

Five star  pollution rated,

A carbon nightmare of vast proportions,

Ignoring all climate change cautions,

Keep the furnaces burning,we need their metal

Mrs Craggy we need your kettle,

Stainless is what we do best

But if you pay us we’ll do the rest,

It wasn’t worth the Chinese while ,

And now they’re  angry and   fermenting bile,

Let’s hope they don’t take revenge,

And send their J-17’s  over Stonehenge,

Just for show ,no one wants a war,

In truth it’s their ego that’s a bit sore,

But the cost will be far in the future,

A carbon mess and all for  pewter.

  1. My friend, beautifully expressed!
    This reads like Shakespeare moonlighting as an angry climate blogger with a kettle obsession. “Bring back the steel,” they cry—because who needs breathable air when Mrs. Craggy needs to boil tea? Let’s just hope the J-17s aim for the gift shop and not the actual stones. 😄😄
