With a Nod to Ann @ Writeclub……
Before the lights went out
families were enjoying the stuff on tv
while mum and dad were heating stuff in the cooker for tea
and the earth warmed up another n’th of a degree
Before the lights went out
there was celebrations in night time streets
as illuminations danced to funky beats
and families noshed on all kinds of eats
meanwhile the power started to retreat
as the earth warmed up another degree
And as the power did go out
the consumers they all began to shout
solar panels were the call
a stop to dirty power did fall
on the ears of car-makers, power stations all
the lights went out for a week and a day
and as the usage started to flee
the earth cooled down by one degree
