Not long ago, you’d be thought eccentric,

Nestled quietly near the woods;

A garden and a patio,

As viral traffic pounded past,

And noise from each approaching plane

We’re choking it to death

With ill-considered breath

From factories and cars;

Soon sympathetic stars

Will weep at our demise

And curse our leaders’ lies.
