Analysis of Here's a Can of Air Freshener for that Greenhouse Gas
I know what must be done
But I wait and hope
The battle by itself will be won
Who am I?
The earth spins without my aid
And the sun doesn’t need
Its energy bills to be paid
How am I relative?
Oh, they’re famished?
A grocery store trip will make that better
People are jailed and banished?
They should just write a letter
Think globally?
The world is immense
Act locally?
I don’t want to hop that fence
