Hobbo's Poems
A quirky look at life from a Yorkshire poet and his dog's perspective
Be a Planet Hero
Be a planet hero
Be cool, a planet hero
Not another, planet jerk
Get carbon down to zero
You can ride that bike to work
Be cool, a planet hero
There is, no real excuse
Get carbon down to zero
Recycle, re-use, reduce.
Be cool, a planet hero
A responsible trustee
Get carbon down to zero
You can plant another tree.
Be cool, a planet hero
Volunteer, give up your time
Get carbon down to zero
Litter pick, clean up that grime.
Be cool, a planet hero
Or you just, may be too late
Get carbon down to zero
Speak out now, and educate.
Be cool, a planet hero
The world’s, a little greener
Get carbon down to zero
Insist, non-toxic cleaner.
Be cool, a planet hero
Not a thoughtless planet geek
Get carbon down to zero
Fix it now, that water leak.
Be cool, a planet hero
Not a, cave like troglodyte
Get carbon down to zero
Turn them off, electric lights.
Be cool, a planet hero
Please don’t be, a planet fool
Get carbon down to zero
Only buy, sustainable.
Be cool, a planet hero
Not a planet scallywag
Get carbon down to zero
And re-use, that shopping bag.
Be cool, a planet hero
Do it, any way, or how
Don’t be, another Nero
We’re on fire, and burning now!
Nice one Hobbo! The last line: 🔥

Yes! I’m ready, sign me up. I’ve got my bike and favorite reusable shopping stripes. Can I possibly share this one with my two older students? 16, 17
