Keys
The weather forecast was right,
the climate did indeed change,
mother Earth threw a hissy fit.
Damage was done needlessly.
Good men and a few women wept,
most shrugged - as I do - did.
Cities are under a threat
nothing specific, just random rumors.
Miami is basking as usual
however whales are dying
in numbers
environmental concerns were shelved
ignored,
prairie dogs dug deeper holes
They knew
they knew all along!
If only I had turned on the TV.
and not overslept
dreaming of an afterlife in Key West.
