Be Not Complacent 'bout Dire Global Warming... Poem by Matthew Harris

Be Not Complacent 'bout Dire Global Warming...



Thus spake Zarathustra
necessitating donning layered clothing
in tandem, especially trumpeting
being with wise mind and economical
exercising usage of fossil fuel
completing most tasks
involving driving automobile
courtesy designing efficient,

deliberate, and conscientious
strategy consolidating
tasks within one fell swoop,
plus turning off heat and lights
and adapting, learning to chill
circadian rhythm nsync
with nocturnal existence beef hitting
and apropos to a Neanderthal caveman.

Despite brisk temperatures today lo
mein April fifth
two thousand twenty two y'know,
where exhalation generates
puff daddy 'o air to flow
after taking analogous sturm und drang
dragon fiery cigarette slow -

inhaling lungful of nicotine
savoring fairly bequeathing
air of savoir faire sophistication
(despite yours truly
being an idiot savant)
Marlboro brand cigarettes
with highest addictive ingredient
of any holy smokes.

Don't be fooled ice age cometh
just because spate
of cool Autumn like Spring weather
brought coveted tolerable respite
after blast of unseasonably raw
cold temperature conditions
(nevertheless buds bursting)
just... like... a mere
smattering number days (a week) ago,
ye best not be wary nay -
and put figurative guard down no
including y'all fellow Earthlings -

don't get smug, but snuggle
though morning hath bro
kin quite chilly, ah refreshing
moost definitely worth crow
wing about, Aesop prose
'FAKE' king ace poe
wit like... yours
truly perhaps tubby up pro
pray yet believe me you,
suffocating humidity and haziness
will become central

warm front bringing scorching
heat wave soon enough
perceptibly slowing ability
to conjure e'en feeble attempt
to craft higglety pigglety
measly, satisfactory flow
'o words - yea right I haint
gonna get no dough
tis exhilarating regarding average Joe
biden his time at least
till 20/24 election - whoa

nineteen months from now
hoop fully trumpeting bozo
will be caricatured
as threat to democracy, cuz he ain't
dune planet earth any good
actually his dynastic aspirations
undermined biological cargo,
and affected mooch mo'
harm as he blithely axed
environmental protections with his so
so who cares attitude

which inevitably spelt grow
tusk elephant in the room
compromising future generations welfare
exhibits boomerang effect affecting yo
children of a lesser god
told me by dodo
bird chimney sweeper sallow
faced bummer resembling Frodo
overwhelmed with basket
of deplorable wretched status quo
hither and yon to and fro

he doth frantically go
across terrestrial firmament, in toto
sacrilegious, malicious, egregious...
abominable primate shady hue
man oh man now tis time I cue
somber tune from oboe,
whereby charmed snake (Cobra)
entirely constructed and linkedin
with a little help courtesy lego
set now at poe wits end
this soon tubby extinct bonobo
doth bid thee adieu.
