Holy climate change, Batman
Galloping glacier melt, Robin
Rising seas and floodwaters, Batman
Coastal towns underground, Robin
Cavalier carbon emissions, Batman
Clueless coal mine re-openings, Robin
Tons of trapped atmospheric pollutants, Batman
Anti-intellectual animadversion against science, Robin
Don't judge me if you do know zip
For facts are dressed from toe to tip
My recital you never try to read
Thence blinded and hurt by the blood they bleed.
Your animadversion plant it please
For no man is perfect or so you'll see
Why marred that angelic mug of yours?
And force to you my want to deplores?
All of us writes but a different story
Filling each with countless shame and glory
You see but an impression of my looks
And speaks to but a version of my books.
So don't judge me if you do know zip
Since bad karma might seek your lips
My recital you should try to read
Flaw lies in blood that we players feed.
Dovey Annie
