A FRIEND OF THE EARTH

I'm a friend of the Earth.
I branch out with the trees.
A bush has grown quite close.
I hang about with leaves.

I'm going out tonight,
I'll be gone for hours,
Out with the 'usual crowd';
A great bunch of flowers.

I'm a friend of the Earth;
On which I do depend.
I've never before had,
Such a bloody big friend.
