VI
Everything must now be "green"
It is the new buzz word
That on newspapers and TV screens
Is constantly seen and heard.
But it is ordinary folk
Who have to bear the strain,
For we are told to walk, cycle
Or go by bus and train.
"Use public transport all the time"
Is what environmentalists say.
Have they ever tried to carry
A week's shopping this way?
To ensure their security
MPs need gas-guzzlers large;
Some drive around in one jag
With a spare one in the garage.
To save on fuel we are told
We shouldn't fly or drive,
So is it only Ministers
Who will use Terminal Five?
