Energy

 

 

A scientist was pondering,

Could he possibly learn

Which is the best source of energy,

By asking each one in turn?

 

The coal-fired power station first

Was where he went to inquire.

But coal there complained, “I hate it,

I keep getting set on fire!”

 

Next, an oil-fired power station

Was what he went on to see.

“I don’t like it,” sighed oil, “because

They insist on burning me.”

 

A nuclear power station

Thought it was badly treated,

“I get bombarded with atoms,

Becoming overheated.”

 

Lastly, he went to a wind farm

And asked his question again.

“Actually,” said the wind turbine,

I really am a huge fan.”
