One of the main problems with blaming human activity for global warming is that the temperature rise is not uniform, as one ould expect if the cause of warming was earthbound.. The surface of the earth is getting warmer faster than the atmosphere is. But there is a theory of warming that accounts for the variation in temperatures. Cosmic Rays.

Poetry and Notions.

I have this off-again on-again desire to prove to Unremitting Verse that whatever he can do, I can do worse. He posted some good new stuff last night, so I thought I’d do the same. He wrote rhyming haikus, I wrote rhyming haikus. He based his poems on news headlines, I based my poems on news headlines, assuming you accept Fark.com as a news site. He wrote well-crafted and pleasant poetry, I wrote………..well, I wrote these.

Early Morning Nude

Lady Godiva?
No, but her onlookers still
swallowed saliva.

The Seven Dollar Solution

Why coffin nail sales
are falling so fast, you ask?
Smuggling prevails!

Bleeping Lucky Guy!

Ozzie saves miners!
So yes, buy his albums, say
parents of minors.

A Modest Proposal

Enemy Saudis!
How to punish the princes?
Make them drive Audis.

Nose No Fear

The shark is his chum.
And all punning aside, don’t
end up as his chum.

Monkey Mascot Made Mayor!

A monkey mascot,
elected! And Churchill seen
spinning, in casket.

Honor Among Thieves.

As Morgenthau said
“Millions gone.” A good way to
dishonor our dead.

To the Dolphins, With Love

Sit here and revolve.
You’ll keep playing bad football
until you evolve.

What a Jerk That Must Have Been

Hey mister, that’s mine?
You were scared into coming?
Now that’s asinine.

Not a Small World After All.

Move along, buddy.
Mickey don’t like it, he’s an
old fuddy-duddy.

Over a Rock and a Hard Place

A safe-sex Giant!
Perhaps he’s awaiting a
giantess client?

Ballpark Economics

Get your cookies here?
Kids, better profits are made
in selling cold beer.

Fire in the Hole!

Admire fire?
This tunnel’s no place for that
kind of desire.

Hi! Who Are You?

Dividing the twins–
letting them see, at last, how
the other half grins.

Here Comes The King.

The saviour drank wine.
Perhaps that is why someone
defaced your big sign.

A Contortionist’s Lament.

Dodge Neon trunk sex,
Losing a pound of good pot.
My mom will be vexed.
