Hot Enough For Ya?

Someone ought to do one of those

Frying pan sizzling videos

With the caption,

“This is your brain on global warming.”

I remember those news clips

Of somebody frying an egg on the sidewalk somewhere.

Somebody’s got to be gearing up

For making some kind of fancy soufflé

In Southern California.

They could spin it as

Just another day in La La Land,

They are said to be kind of baked over there,

Or maybe a fix to the energy crisis.

Or maybe they ought to move there,

Convene a congressional study

To see if it’s really hot?

Then they could form a subcommittee

And devise a plan for how to ignore it

For another twenty years,

Maybe a bucket to hang from their noses,

With a hose to divert the sweat

To some poor, thirsty politician in Washington.
