[ Ban Pacific :: 2002-01-01 ]
( Views: 127 )


A motion for this meeting, Gents
as we convene here our annual group
a suggestion to start
with the ecology part
a small request for our merry troupe

A motion that could cause scandal
for us Earth-managing gents
sitting all here
as we do every year
laying plans for generations hence.

My proposition is a simple one
and is based on this logical fact:
I think the Pacific
so terrible-horrific
its demise we today should enact

It much too much wide for an ocean
its water too salty to taste
its color too blue
and there's the Atlantic too
dont you think two oceans a waste?

Its beaches are cluttered with sand
the waves are a pain in the ass
i think we should drain it
do i have to explain it
it reeks of old green seaweed grass

its too deep for any real purpose
to traverse it there's naught but to fly
or hop in a boat
but its not just a moat
while paddling weeks would pass by

and whats with this name - the Pacific?
We all know its stormy as hell
we should move it someplace
such as deep outer space
to get rid of the terrible smell

there are still a couple of options
which i'll present to you gentlemen fine
we could heat it with a plate
making it evaporate
thats just one idea of mine

one more thing we could	do is to dig us
the earth's biggest deepest dark hole
and drain the whole thing
down as far as Nanking
and then fill it in like a mole

and once all that water had left us
we could pave us a super highway
straight from inner Tokyo
down to San Francisco
that would make things much better, I'd say

because then we could construct a rocket
with wheels mounted firm on the sides
to fly across the plain
much faster than a train
talk about taking swift strides

so you see Gents, without a Pacific
how happy our lives now would be
we could zip forth and back
on a rail or a track
and easily our loved ones see
