Holy Climate Change, Batman

Holy climate change, Batman
  Galloping glacier melt, Robin
Rising seas and floodwaters, Batman
  Coastal towns underground, Robin

Cavalier carbon emissions, Batman
  Clueless coal mine re-openings, Robin
Tons of trapped atmospheric pollutants, Batman
  Anti-intellectual animadversion against science, Robin

Batman and Robin; they appeared on TV for my children, not me. I never got into them, but the way they spoke sounds like this poem for sure!

I thank you for the comment, and I do think that this comes across as a fair approximation of the typical Batman-Robin dialogue. ~ Holy Poetry, Caren!

It's definitely time for a vacation. We've all got to get away even for a brief moment. Life is too complicated and hectic, not to.

We're being bombarded right, left and centre. Time for all the superheroes to join forces and give us hand, Gershon! Regards // paul

Sure would be nice for some 'superheroes' to step forward and help combat climate change. I imagine that we are going to have to rely on 'ordinary folks,' however. Thanks for your insights, Paul. ~ gw

We certainly know we need superheroes these days. Thanks, Gershon.

Actually hadn't thought of it this way, Line. (Batman and Little Robin never measured up to Superman for me, I guess.) You're right. They're superheroes. And we need them -- or someone super -- to stop nonsensical animadversion flowing from much of the Republican Party these days. Populism hasn't tightened its ugly grip on those feckless pols. Thanks for the insight! :) gw
