An Ode to Global Warming

In the merry month of May
Basking in the summer glow!
A wish to float far away!
A wish to feel the winter snow!


A winter lost, A summer regained
The grass underneath turned to hay!
Traces of which none remained!
A wintry night is now a summer day!


Explain not why the soot fills the sky
Explain not where the glaciers went!
Explain not how the seals suffer and die!
Explain not when the lakes were spent!


A parched throat is none the worse
Than a bleeding one cut by the knife!
Countless tho' are the coins in my purse!
They can't save my childs fledgling life!


Kyoto was lost, Copenhagen did sink
The danger though none would deny!
The lobbyists schemed and rose a stink!
Half a century later the world started to die!


A cautionary tale is better not told
'Cos we believe only whats ere our eyes!
Alchemists thought lead turned into gold!
Woe is us! We believe in gilded lies!
