A Carret Sonnet
A chapter in the book Little Poems
My Temperature is Rising
by Treischel
We know the earth's been warm and cold before. The Ice Age was ten thousand years ago, While tropics ruled the age of dinosaur. Geology shows; cycles come and go. Does mankind make a difference to the blend? Do waste emissions twist our climate's air? Or, does the cycle tumble end-to-end Regardless what the human race might do? Despite what drives the pundits to despair, We overstate our true capacity. The changes that our world is going through Are natural swings of earth's geology. So you believe in global warming, huh! Today the temperature is only three. To that idea, I'll have to say - - ta-ta! |
CARRET SONNET contest entry
When I hear them talk about global warming, my temperature rises, as to the foolishness. We could just as easily be heading into a new Ice Age. The damage of just one volcanic eruption is ten thousand times more damaging to our climate than what mankind can ever do. We have an overinflated opinion of our impact on the whole.
Now, depleting the Ozone layer and hurting the atmosphere - that's another matter!
Ta-ta: a very British way to say "goodbye".
