№ 690.3: EXTRA! Climate Change (White House Edition)

ICYHOTPATCH (September 25)


With glaciers melting faster and faster
we're clearly approaching some kind of disaster.
Some day soon we'll find due to heat
the cupboard is bare and we've nothing to eat.
The crops will have wilted (or drowned) in their fields
and Donnie, our King, will say he'll appeal
to the multiple gods with whom he's at odds
to have mercy on some of his worshipful sods.
That is to say after he feasts
on the scavenged carcasses of whatever beasts
are still around. Then he'll go to town
to watch Melanie try on a brand new ball gown.

This is the TRUTH. It is not news fake-ed.
That's the only time he'll get her naked.
This is not only because she's grown cold.
In point of fact, she finds him exceedingly old,
wrinkled and limp, resembling a blimp
and she's truly tired of hearing him whimper
and plead and talk of he need when after Stormy
she thought they'd agreed to end the pretense,
playing husband and wife,
and she 'd be free to get on with her life.

She thought when she signed the non-disclosure
she would not have to suffer this sort of exposure.
