Words by Julia H. West Nuclear inspector Riding all day long While my geiger counter Sings its lonesome song. Checking each bunny, bug and weed; Won't let the "hot" ones spread or breed. See them tumbling down, Pledging their love to the ground, Where'er they go I'll be found Chasing the radioactive tumbleweeds. Though the plutonium's gone Nuclear waste lingers on. I spend each day in the sun Chasing the radioactive tumbleweeds. Bridge: I know it will be long Until radiation's gone. So I'll keep checking each hole Look at each snake, fly, and mole. Kill or contain is my goal: Chasing the radioactive tumbleweeds. First hot frogs . . . now radioactive tumbleweeds.Words copyright © 21 May 1999 by Julia H. West
