I daily read and listen to the news
A lot of things do fill my thoughts with dread
Like candidates for posts whereof their views
Are counter to the agencies they’d head
But there’s one Trump appointment that stands out
It promises an existential threat
Not just to us but to the world throughout
And many generations unborn yet
Trump’s man, Scott Pruitt, picked, for what it’s worth,
To head the EPA, the agency
That works to slow the warming of the Earth
A man whose views are opposite, you see
This message to all Senators, I send
Reject Trump’s choice to run the EPA
Good life on Earth may on this choice depend
When they look back what will our grandkids say?
