Because Depressed College Students Shouldn’t Have A Monopoly On Bad Poetry

April 16th, 2007 at 10:22 am by Cranky

Kyoto

April Sixteen Two Thousand and Seven. A Day of Wreckening. George, Jorge, Whore-Hey! Why would you not sign Kyoto?

Slush from the Heaven of your “God” Is our doom now or The Day After Tomorrow?

kyoto_poem1.JPG

Kyoto, Tokyo. History shows again and again, Nature points out the folly of man. Man. Carbon based life form. U.S. Carbon choking the sky.

Warming the poles.

Cause us to die.

Our Carbon Offset pools aren’t enough to catch the Tempest bought and paid for by Tex-Arabians.

[interminable bongo solo]

Come Albert, come Bobby Kennedy and you dear Leo. No Ark awaits us this time. Deliver us from Evil.

UPDATE
See the wee daffy dils arch their icy backs to mourn for frozen toads?

Proceed directly to comments for the rest of this gem.

    Your bad photoshopping only points out the great lengths you cave-dwellers will go to hide the fact that our earth is getting HOTTER AND HOTTER each day. The discussion on global warming is OVER, but you just don’t see the light.

    To cover his ass, Bush clearly has used the technological arsenal at his disposal to make the sheeple THINK that it is colder than usual.

    For example, it wasn’t REALLY 45 degrees at the Atlanta Braves game yesterday. It was actually a steaming 85 degrees.

    Because any fool knows that you don’t play baseball in cold weather.

    Just a short poem that I’ve been pondering. Beware. I had a lot of practice with this while in college.

    It is the springtime of the apocolypse

    Put your hoofs in your boots, balloonman, and run to more mudluscious ground

    It is the springtime of the apocolypse

    No children can hear your flute balloonman.
    No children are around.

    It is the springtime of the apocolypse.

    See the wee daffy dils arch their icy backs to mourn for frozen toads?

    It is the springtime of the apocolypse

    See insufferable pricks play violins while mother earth implodes?

  3. Cranky Says:

    Michele, that was beautiful. However, I’m going to thumb through my folk albums to see if you’ve plagarized. It sounds good. Too good.

  4. Billy Says:

    Michele, you’re freakin’ brilliant…

  5. michele Says:

    I can get out my acoustic guitar and sing it if you’d like. I’ll use lots of E minor and some finger picking.

  6. Billy Says:

    I hate to make light of a tragic situation…but I am watching the news feeds from Virginia Tech where the massacres happened this morning…

    Is that SNOW?

    On April 16.

    This seems an appropriate place to post this so here it goes:

    18 WAYS TO BE A GOOD LIBERAL:

    1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on
    demand.

    2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and
    governments create prosperity.

    3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are
    more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of
    Iranian, Chinese, and North Korean communists.

    4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.

    5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by
    cyclical changes in the earth’s climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV’s.

    6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

    7. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

    8. You have to believe that the same teacher who can’t teach 4th-graders
    how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

    9. You have to believe that hunters don’t care about nature, but PETA
    activists do.

    10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn
    it.

    11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own
    money to make “The Passion of the Christ” for financial gain only.

    12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution,
    while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

    13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

    14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger, Susan Sarandon, and Gloria
    Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson,
    General Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

    15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial
    quotas and set-asides are not.

    16. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn’t worked
    anywhere it’s been tried is because the right people haven’t been in charge.

    17. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens
    and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger
    scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

    18. You have to believe that this post is part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA. Oops, can’t do that either!

  8. Cranky Says:

    That is indeed snow, Billy.

    Swampy, not bad. You could make it rhyme more, however.

  9. Billy Says:

    I’m no Michele, but I can haiku:

    Woe, our climate fate
    Lo, Cranky’s Toads disappear
    Freezing my ass off

  10. Vinnie Says:

    Molten death
    Spreads across the dying planet
    Mankind
    Raping
    Killing
    Destroying

    O! Gaia! O Mother Earth!

    Show them the Truth!
    Show them the Light!
    Teach these barbarians
    The planet needs saving
    From their evil ways

    O Government!
    A Prius in every house
    Solar panels on top of every home
    Screw the starving poor
    Corn is for Ethanol
    Force them to act now!

  11. Cranky Says:

    Hey, this is getting interesting. Espresso, anyone?

  12. Lokki Says:

    Come gather round children and hear my sad call.
    Man’s not responsible for global warming at all.
    The water is rising but it won’t bury the land.
    The day of reckoning is not really at hand.

    The water is rising but the reason is this -
    Al Gore and his friends have been taking the piss.

  13. Uncle Tim Says:

    Oh yes, my liberal mommy
    Sweet Nancy in the round
    Let your legislation burn them all
    like the sun through our depleted ozone
    Oh yes, my retribution!
    My nation, my earth
    Weeps…

  14. Preston Taylor Holmes Says:

    Great shit – we have to do this more often.

    Since I’m short on time, I’ll simply launch this one:

    A young boy says to his forlorn father:

    “Mantis, mantis, mantis…
    Show me a mantis.”

    A sad father breaks the news:

    “No, son, the internet is down.”

    Ok, gotta go.

  15. Dan Collins Says:

    Fuckin’-A, guys. What did I ever do to you?

  16. Cranky Says:

    Fuckin’-A, guys. What did I ever do to you?

    Started blogging at BloodyScott, that’s what!

    For the Manatees!

  17. Donna Locke Says:

    I prefer the Neil Young version.

  18. Doug Says:

    You just don’t understand that global warming is cooling the Earth. Global warming works in mysterious ways.

    History shows again and again, Nature points out the folly of man.

    Go, go, Gorezilla!
