-- by Horatio Algeranon
We must not try to draw connections
Between tornadoes, floods and droughts.
Of global warming predilections
We really should maintain our doubts --
Even if Tornado Alley
Is chalking up a record tally;
Even if the Texas climes
Are worse than those of Dust Bowl times;
Even if the Russian summer
Between tornadoes, floods and droughts.
Of global warming predilections
We really should maintain our doubts --
Even if Tornado Alley
Is chalking up a record tally;
Even if the Texas climes
Are worse than those of Dust Bowl times;
Even if the Russian summer
Begins to be a royal bummer;
Even if the Mississip
Floods New Orleans on its trip;
Even if the Mississip
Floods New Orleans on its trip;
Even if all the weather extremes
Are something from our haunted dreams.
Best to view extreme events
As unrelated to fossil burning.
...Though scientists say it makes some sense
Given the things they have been learning...
