Unit 6:The Environment
Read this poem about the environment
MUMMY,OH MUMMY
“Mummy,oh Mummy, What’s going to happen
If all the pollution goes on?”
“Well the world will end up like a second-hand junk-yard,
With all of its treasures quite gone.

The fields will be littered with plastics and tins,
The streams will be covered with foam.
Now throw those soda bottles over the hedge,
Save us from taking them home.”
“But Mummy,oh Mummy,if I throw the bottles,

Won’t that be polluting the woods?”
“Nonsense!That isn’t the same thing at all,
You just keep quiet and be good.
If you’re going to strat getting silly ideas,
I’ll take you home right away.

Because polluting is something that other folk do,
We’re just enjying our day.”
