The Lady's Prayer

Our Mother
who art in nature,
harrowed be thy name.
Thy queendom's numb,
thy will's undone,
on earth
as it is in the ozone layer.

You give us each day
our daily bread,
and forgive us
our unsorted bins,
though we forgive Forestry,
who sin against you.

But please,
lead us not into dam rations,
but deliver us
from global warming.

For thine is the queendom,
the green power,
and the globe,
for ever and ever,
until the world ends.
