Monsanto Song

Tune: On Top of Old Smokey
Gaggle: Seattle

San Jose, CA, grannies

On top of old Smokey,
See how it glows—
Monsanto has buried
A bushel of woes.

The first was potatoes
Genetically marked,
Spliced with a jelly-fish
They glow in the dark.

And then came tomatoes,
So round and so red –
But don’t let them fool you.
They’re genetically dear.

Now comes the saddest,
Which we should all mourn,
Old Round-Up is hidden
In each kernel of corn.

So as you sit eating
Your veggies today,
Remember Monsanto
Is lighting your way!
