Hark the herald angels sing

yea, only one hundred ten days,

I started counting until spring

as proclaimed courtesy

yours truly, a fellow Earthling.

Mine tolerance to endure

brutally cold weather quite plain

decreases in direct proportion

as orbitz around El Sol increase,

hence subsequent heft to weather

old man winter doth wane,

no matter majority mein kampf birthdays

lived hashtagged Southeastern

Montgomery, Pennsylvanian.

 

Climate change slated

to ratchet up temperatures,

thus quaint Currier

and Ives existence dated,

whereby relics portraying

old man winter curated

within (ironically enough)

climate controlled and heavily gated

surveilled environment freighted

replete with trappings created,

back in the day when bomb cyclones

nsync with polar vortex precipitated,

where global warming naysayers skated

on thin ice ignoring strong voice dictated

by diminutive Swedish

activist Greta Thunberg severely castigated

passive grownups, said

slip o\' lass generated

cult like following despite

her petite, yet enervated

larger than life presence, especially venerated

by young people cohort, who felt infuriated

unheeded apocalyptic warnings

inadvertently kickstarted,

motivated, and promulgated

green revolution proudly designated

government, née said youth

zealously, vociferously, righteously,

opportunistically arrogated

take charge attitude

(think) wartime economy escalated

forcing drastic paradigm shift

diminishing nightmare demise calculated

to reign death and destruction,

nonetheless untolled cruelty

permanently and wantonly eradicated

multitudinous swaths of life forms.
