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 . . . .

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!

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!
