I can't live without you

by Ronald A Pavellas

Oh-Two
I can't live without you

Too much, you burn me up
Too little, I gasp for more

Twenty-one percent
Of all the air I breathe is you 

But I need trees too, 'cause
Trees make you, Oh-Two
And trees need you
If combined with "Cee" 

So I need Cee-Oh-Two too
But too much Cee-Oh-Two
Is bad, they say 

Point-oh-three percent
Of the air I breathe
Is Cee-Oh-Two

Is this enough for the trees?

Very interesting perspective and still you wonder if the trees are okay...I suppose it is easy to do so knowing your own safety is ensured. Clever. ~JPP
