SOUND ECONOMICS



                     5 or so mins after the dawn of time
                     nature invented the solar panel
                     we call it "the leaf"

                     now a tad belatedly
                     clever clever we
                     are slowly catching up

                    though truth be said we do 
                    prefer smoking our coal and oil
                    and dunking our uranium

                    for all the obvious
                    heath reasons
                    and the sound economics

    Billy Collins-esque! Very much enjoying making my way through your excellent writing. Especially, liked the piece of Robert Graves (you lucky bugger). Cheers, Matt www.eksistence.blogspot.com

    Thanks very much Rae and Rosemary, and Matt thank you for that very flattering comparison, and glad you liked the Graves piece.
