Inspiration

By Sis Unswoth

Tim needed inspiration to elevate his plan,

to combat global warming for a better world for man

No more flying holidays, he would always stay at home

along the Southend pier, they now would see him roam.

But, he needed inspiration, to help him to get started,

he had to give it all he had, and not just be half-hearted.

Someone had suggested, he should give up his car,

he pretended not to hear that, as it was a step too far.

He could always buy a bicycle or even take a bus,

but all that waiting in between, he didn’t need the fuss.

No more plastic bottles, he’d recycle all his waste,

he tried to be a vegan, but he didn’t like the taste.

He couldn’t give up bacon, and he loved his Sunday roast,

And breakfast wasn’t quite the same, with tomatoes on dried toast.

If he had inspiration, he was sure he could succeed,

to leave his carbon footprint, would be his one good deed.

But all thoughts of inspiration really had to wait,

as he tucked into a juicy steak, they’d just put on his plate.
