Warming of Our Planet

In the heat of summer
It was nice to bath in the river
Ten minutes away
A great place to cool off
And not crowded by tourists 
Cigano boys bronzed and
Physically perfect 
Jumped from the bridge
Of the warming of the planet
I know nothing, only this
The river is dry in May and has
Been so the last five years 
But old people tell me it has
Happened before, the river 
Was dry for years in the fifties
