Just yesterday my girlfriend sadly died,

a martyr to her cause of verdant green,

I sadly spread her ashes on the tide,

the greatest waste of life I’ve ever seen.

 

It started with a news flash on TV,

“Whales now at risk” we heard the anchor say,

“I need to go,” she gravely said to me,

“somebody has to stand up in their way!”

 

She stole a boat and rowed out after lunch,

the fleet sailed through the heads, she stood her ground,

from over on the beach I heard the crunch,

she disappeared without another sound.

 

“Protestor tries to stop the U.S. Fleet!”

the anchor man again – that very night,

“Destroyer makes a redneck feel the heat,

a fool to try and stop the navy’s might.”

 

“In other news, the Welsh are now okay,

the leeks are growing, as are peas and beans,

so Wales will not now starve or fade away,

it’s fine, with thanks to research by the Greens!”
