a Nod to WH Auden
Some say
Science is absurd
And some say
it’s The Word
Some say it
shows how the world goes round
Some say it
just occurred.
And when I
asked the EPA
Who looked
as if they knew
The Prez got
very cross indeed
And said it
wouldn’t do.
Does it look
like global warming?
Or a bear on
crumbling ice?
Does it
smell like we’re measuring methane?
Or cuddling
chimera mice?
Is it as
exciting as Twitter?
Or boring as
half-hearted defiance?
Does it
taste sweet or seem bitter?
O, Tell Me
the Truth About Science!
Will our
history books whisper of it?
(The ones
that are left unburned.)
Will
Facebook exalt and revere it?
(If a few
faces remain unturned.)
Will
Alternative Facts rule the Future?
A Rogue NASA
and Alt Parks alliance?
Is Rogue
POTUS Staff in the know?
O, Tell Me
the Truth About Science!
