Earth Casserole

For this you will need a very large dish and a kitchen the size of the universe

Chop up the mountains and chop up the trees
Throw in the buildings and throw in the keys

Stir in the truth and stir in the saviours
Add all the livestock and smell all the flavours

Tip in the jobs and tip in the money
Pour in the sad and pour in the funny

Fold in the weapons and fold in the wars
Sieve in the rich and sieve in the poor

Drop in the plagues and drop in the cancers
Whisk in the parties and whisk in the dancers

Mix in the weather and mix in the news
Grate in the music and grate in the views

Push in the young and help in the old
Add a volcano it will never go cold

Sprinkle in a rainbow to colour the thing
Season this dish with summer and spring

After you’ve eaten sit down for a rest
A casserole made from Earth takes a lifetime to digest
