It all started with me thinking about what an actual megalodon would say if it could speak English. I ended up with something prehysterical, almost lyrical, and definitely chimerical.

I met a Megalodon who beckoned “Welcome to the herd!” I heard this lot was wily but to me this sounds absurd Undeterred I approached the powers that be to see if it were true But the powers that be were absent without leave leaving me nothing left to do (except to …) kick this can on down the road since no one’s left to carry that load (In the meantime …) Some docile fool’s touting fossil fuels to a group of solar-paneled minds While his fearless peer is stoking the fear of the biomass hive mind (touting ...) “Fossil fuels are plentiful can be found easily Natural gas is very efficient when generating electricity and so on and so forth …” (stoking …) “Biomass energy is reliable helps to reduce waste But also expensive requires lots of space and more of the same also and others…” When both groups could no longer suffer the ranting all in unison began their chanting: “Good riddance! Good riddance! Leave them both to jostle with that colossal, wily, beckoning Megalodon …” “Welcome to the herd!”
