The delegates came and the delegates sat

And they talked and they talked ‘til their bums all went flat

Then a delegate said in the country he knew

We must do something quick, but what should we do

So they sat again thinking and there they stayed seated

Sitting and thinking the planets been heated

I think, said a delegate there from Peru

That we all must agree on some things we could do

Like reducing emissions, at least CO2

So they nodded and noted and vetoed and voted

And one of them stood up and suddenly quoted

It’s the science you see, that’s the thing that must guide us

When the leaders all get here they’re certain to chide us

So they sat again thinking about what to think

Then decided to ponder what colour of ink

To use on the paper when they’ve all agreed

To be selfless not greedy, M^cGreedy agreed

But how do we choose just what colour to use

Said a delegate there who’d been having a snooze

We need clear binding targets, definitive action

We must all agree clearly without more distraction

So they sat again thinking of targets for ink

But the ink in their thinking had started to stink

And they started to think the ink was a kink

And the thinking of real things was what they should think.
