An Appeal
It’s time to think of those less fortunate
So here is tonight’s charity appeal
It’s a cause that’s worth your attention
A situation that you might help to heal
It’s a real crisis, ladies and gentlemen
For which funds are urgently needed
To help save this endangered species
With a warning that must be heeded
It’s your chance to help the vulnerable
For it has come to our attention of late
That the human race is heading for extinction
And needs to face up to its fate
Humans are such beautiful creatures
That once were happy and healthy
But now they’re losing their habitat
In the pursuit of making themselves wealthy
Once they roamed all over their planet
But now there are so few left in the wild
Through pollution and starvation
There’s little chance for even a child
War, genocide and famine
They’ve endured each one of these
But they’ve failed to learn any lessons
And now suffer pestilence and disease
Just ten billions could make all the difference
Twenty-five would help ease some of their pain
Fifty would buy a survival kit or a gas-mask
A hundred wouldn’t be flushed down the drain
Please send whatever you can
Any cash you’re willing to spare
Show these humanoids that there’s a future
That somebody out there still cares
Just send it to this Freepost address
And if you’re in the slightest of doubt
Then mark the back of your envelope
Please stop buggering about!
