Parody Written by:
Patrick McWilliams
The Lyrics
If Al Gore can write an inscrutable poem and get it on the Internet (which he invented) I figured I could, too. I don't know how long he spent on his work. I scratched this one out in about 20 minutes. I'm sure it looks like it.
One grey November soon
A baseless creed disappears
In the light of truth
Fears arise
Acid stirs within
Cherished doctrines dissolve
Snow falls on the mountain
Ice clogs the street
"Warming, warming" the mindless chant
Thirst is quenched
Fireworks fill the sky
For renewal's celebration
Too-familiar faces
Depart in haste, unmourned
Lear Jets await clearance
We are the heroes of our own play
The bells are rung
Our song is sung
The tyrants cry
Their algorithms could not foretell
We'd not be played for fools
A baseless creed disappears
In the light of truth
Fears arise
Acid stirs within
Cherished doctrines dissolve
Snow falls on the mountain
Ice clogs the street
"Warming, warming" the mindless chant
Thirst is quenched
Fireworks fill the sky
For renewal's celebration
Too-familiar faces
Depart in haste, unmourned
Lear Jets await clearance
We are the heroes of our own play
The bells are rung
Our song is sung
The tyrants cry
Their algorithms could not foretell
We'd not be played for fools
All you literary critics have at it. T.S. Elliot, I'm not. Most of the time folks can figure out what I'm saying.

You may not be T.S. Elliot, but Al Gore isn't even Rod Mc Ewen (Now THERE'S an insult)! Great rip...the hardest thing to do is parody a travesty. ;D
Glad to see someone finally left a comment. The biggest challenge in writing poetry or songs is rhyming. Poems that don't rhyme are simply prose with wide margins. That's why it only took me a few minutes to crank this one out. Wonder how much time Algore spent on his original.
