Sing Along Now!

IMG_0275_edited_edited_edited.jpg

All around the environment are so many ecosystems
To understand ecology–Stop! Look and listen
A symbiotic relation, nature makes the boundaries
Organisms make their home suited to surroundings

All around a river, a pond or ocean ecosystem
To understand ecology—Stop! Look and Listen
Tentacles, flagella, flippers, flukes and all fins
Depends on their environment—Stop! Look and Listen

All around the sky, a cave or mountain ecosystem
To understand ecology—Stop! Look and Listen
Paws and claws, hooves and feet, talons on the wind high
Depend on their environment—Stop! Look and Listen

All around a garden, a marsh or crest ecosystem
To understand ecology—Stop! Look and Listen
Varieties of trees and plants, botanic organisms
Depend on their environment—Stop! Look and Listen

Living on your body you have a microcosmic system
To understand ecology—Stop! Look and Listen
Creatures live in your eyebrows, they live in your intestines
You are the environment—Stop! Look and Listen

Adapted to a place they know, liken’ where they’re livin’
To affect the environment, threatens their existence
A symbiotic relation you cannot ask for better
Organisms side by side living all together

Ecology will help us see that living organisms
Depend on their environment—Stop! Look and Listen
