Global Warming



Whether we can relate to it in the first person - or 
simply feed our belief to furnaces producing their 
fusion in an answer leaves no manoeuvre-room 

We’ll need more data is the call we’re doomed to 
hear repeated from sceptics scurrying sweatily - 
& guess where - cooler rooms with the aircon on 

Hardly a long anticipated global conclusion you’d 
hazard a guess - but telling ‘em their aircon is an 
irreverent heat producer too, won’t gel at all well - 

But staying within th’ confines of whatever shade 
you’ve managed to steal into before th’ rush may 
veritably establish your credibility as a believer 

Then there’s me; I like t’ be warm but not bathed 
in a plaintive sweat’s attempts t’ cool things back 
to a sensible 37 degrees - in an ambience of 40 

This isn’t going to go away isn’t what they’ll want 
to believe as th’ truth we’d best get used to; play 
their game tho - & y’ll believe in another ice age
