Tuna Fish, Beer and Seed

As a child, men of science warned me about the coming of a second ice age. They flashed pictures of stomping mastodon hungry saber tooth cats and giant sloths with enormous claws. I listened closely and was frightened but I was all in and took quick action. I learned how to build an igloo by stuffing snow into hollow plastic blocks. I sharpened the end of dozens of sticks to battle the giant cats and mastodon. Now, Bill Nye, Mr. Gore and Hanoi Jane are warning me of imminent global warming and biblical flooding rarely seen. I'm taking them seriously. So, I'm stockpiling tuna fish, beer and seed. and building a tiny arc just for three as I'll never have two of everything. There's only the cat, an olive-eyed dove and me.
