Climate Debate

Climate Debate

When I hear of Global Warming,
I simply give a shrug.
It worries me as much as
The Year 2000 Bug.

When I hear of Global Warming,
It makes me want to cry.
Horrid things will happen
And we're all going to die.

When I hear of Global Warming,
I think about the money.
I'll make it when it's windy,
And also when it's sunny.

Miller and Monroe

My heart beats so when I see you,
It fills me with fatigue.
But I don't really stand a chance.
You're way out of my league.

But I am quite creative.
I must have far to go.
Let's be Arthur Miller
And Marilyn Monroe.

They split up. She died too soon.
That's not the end I crave.
But if required I'll carry on,
While you lie in your grave.

A genius should be honest.
I'll be so if I must.
My motives are not love for you,
But vanity and lust.

Grown Up

I'm bringing back the God you lent.
He really is quite fraudulent.

Enormity

Enormity

Once we thought the Earth was all,
Among the crystal spheres,
Then we learned that stars are suns,
After many years.

We learned of far off galaxies,
And that they are not rare.
There are billions of the things
Flying round out there.

We thought we could see everything,
But that was just the start.
Dark energy and matter mean
We see a tiny part.

Using very complex maths,
Despite our best intentions,
We found out the Universe
Has lots of spare dimensions.

Now our finest thinkers,
The ones who call the shots,
Say our Universe has chums,
And there are lots and lots.

Give to a philosopher
A question that might faze her:
In the name of all that's real,
How goes Occam's Razor?

Final Destination

Better to travel than to arrive.
As everyone knows who draws breath,
The reason nobody wants to arrive
Is the last destination is death.
