Talking Turkey

Earth glows in the dark like a bauble Though sometimes its orbit will wobble In Glasgow they came To allocate blame Knowing Scotch can make eagles gobble!

Yes -- didn't you see Biden's fingers crossed behind his back when he was speaking?!

Is that what he was doing? I thought he was getting ready to throw coal dust in everyone's eyes . . . .

Hello Rico ... they'll be talking turkey all right as most of them are turkeys with self interest - thank you Rico - Lindsay

It seems Australia, and the USA, will continue contributing coal dust to smother Greta's hopes . . . .

At least Biden believes the science is real, unlike his orange oompa loompa predecessor!

57% of the GOP do NOT believe in Climate Change, so Biden - and the USA - are faced with quite a challenge! Thank you for reading and commenting, Michelle! Aloha!

No shortage of scotch there Rico, as Greta says it will be all blah blah blah. Tom

More likely, "gobble, gobble, gobble", as they - and their entourages - enjoy the many flavours of Scotch (no Scot is going to miss an opportunity to sell to heads of state around the world!)!

Mahalo, Jan! I hope none of them spread COVID-19 to your island! Hawai'i now has 916 COVID-19 deaths, 1/3rd of which occurred in October 2021 - (unvaccinated), so their numbers are dwindling!

Hawai'i's Governor Ige is one of many who could not miss an opportunity to enjoy genuine Scotch whiskey!
