Verses from Stories in Today's Washington Post -- At Japan’s dolphin hunt, a struggle between local traditions and global anger -- A conservative radio host compared ‘boomer’ to the n-word. Even Dictionary.com was appalled. -- More than 11,000 scientists from around the world declare a ‘climate emergency’.

When the hungry Japanese/

sail out to the seven seas/

They're not fussy what they catch/

they'll eat dolphins by the batch/

If you should fall into their net/

humanity they might forget!

Radio talk show hosts sure are

ignoramuses on par

with the monkeys in the zoo --

would you trust their narrow view?

When it comes to subtle jest,

they like throwing feces best.

We are now a snowball, lad,

thrust into a Hades sad.

As the temp continues up,

we are effervescing -- yup!

Scientists may rant and rave,

but I doubt the day they'll save.

What we need are legislators

who don't act like alligators . . .
