Pete Seeger

Last night, something new and old brought inspiration - a rare ingredient during harried days! Spring abounding moved me to crave peanut butter and chocolate. I indulged. Later, I worried, I'd treated myself before earning it as promised, by preparing something for the "No Fracking Way" concert in Beacon NY that evening. At the event, good old Pete Seeger showed me the way. I realized, seeing him calming sitting and occasionally singing along there, at age ninety-two, he was conserving his energy to help conserve our land along the Hudson River. I could do the same, just by turning the practice of hydro-fracturing for natural gas (fracking) into a fable.
I made up on the spot, a fable of "Elephants and Peanuts."
These pachyderms crave more from their pond than sun, wind in the banana trees, and the berry bushes. They decide to force deep hidden peanuts out of the underground. Scooping up berries with their trunks, mixing them with water from their pond, they stick snpouts in the ground to force up those precious peanuts, as butter. A big government monkey questioning their practice. They bribe him off with a bunch of bananas.
The elephants blast the berry mix into the ground. Up comes peanutbutter! They decide to go "Elvis" by frying bananas with their new found peanut butter. They go to light the mix, and Whoosh! their pond goes up in flames!
They elephant learn, watch out for your waters when fracking for peanuts!
