When Soda Pops

When Soda Pops Under pressure from thermonuclear devices Or at CERN when the hadron collider gave birth to a baby black hole We come to find it could get worse Soda pops are there so I don’t care That’s all that matters on the matter Genome of the disease-transmitting tsetse fly are mapped right now More asteroids are headed our way…..someday…. But it’s ok Soda pops are also on their way. Planets form without our knowledge….or permission I might add In the news; Chernobyl birds exposure to radiation, adapt to ionization, their (pheomelanin, a pigment in feathers), have some problems today they say But the birdies are doing just fine And that’s just great I’ll have a pop to celebrate On April 25th. this year a 'brown dwarf' star was found At 7.2 light-years away We must be neighbors Let’s have a soda anyway Volcanos are always on the move Be thankful they can’t fly or drive If I drink more coffee, I’ll read more news They’ll tell about some cancer blues So I’ll sit right here and drink more soda for my thirst And conjure up more verse…..I mean, it could be worse Than soda pops
