ecological conference

They’ve all got neat salt n pepper beards
Lookin’ like intellectual woodsmen
Talkin’ bout’ conservation
And specific conductance

Out there in that wilderness symposium
Adventure scientists and their grad students
Grey-green and tan with lots a pockets
That’s how they dress

They buy their boots outta catalogs
Givin’ lectures in a cabin
Pointin’ at a power point with a laser pen
Screwin’ up the rustic ambiance

But for my part, I
Can’t tell if I’m one of them
