This is Global Warming
We've come to it, I fear
This heat wave (10 below)
Has been the hottest of the year.
It'll soon become unbearable
I'm afraid I'll have to go
And make myself a home
In the balmy Northern Pole.
I've heard that it's the strongest there
This greenhouse gas phenom
I'm told the ice is melting
But here blizzards still go on.
If this is Global Warming,
Where is the blazing heat?
The cataclismic earthquakes?
The tornados in the streets?
Although it's Inconvenient
I'm sure that it's the Truth
Beacuse Al Gore has told me so
With undeniable proof!
I am utterly convinced!
Without a doubt I know
Global Warming is a threat!
As I stand here in the snow...
I, with other brave ones, trudge
Along the icy streets
Warning others of their plight
Though we picket in the sleet.
And though the talk show hosts may laugh
We will not soon retreat
(Though in my heart of hearts,
I'd love some greenhouse heat!)
