Took me all of five minutes to poetry-slam Big Al – admittedly not much of a feat – but at least mine rhymes. (You’re welcome Eric).
Ode To The Jester
“The science is settled!” the jester cried
A defiant tilt to his head
“We must act and quickly”
“Lest we all soon be dead!”
.
“The glaciers are melting”
(As glaciers will do)
“The snow will stop pelting”
(Were that was true)
.
A graph was produced
With exquisite care
Do we question its origin?
None would so dare!
.
“Down, now up – so very high!”
The jester declared.
“This line is our doom!”
And everyone stared.
.
“Should you distrust me”
“Just ask Dr. Jones!”
(Who was sadly in hiding)
(Along with his clones).
.
“We have consensus!”
“It’s plain to see!”
“And we spell consensus:”
“I-P-C-C”
.
“And now I must leave you”
“I’m sure you won’t mind”
“For I’ve been very busy”
“Hiding the decline”
That is AWESOME! Well done Rich!
Even Zappa’ed be proud (actually, especially Zappa) — kick ass!!!!
I once knew a man from Nantucket who could write poetry like that.
Heh. That was funny. You should read it on CNN.
