‘Unprecedented’ is a word
Come to be increasingly heard.
Time to batten down the hatches?
Find a new cliché? The catch is
Now climate change is here to stay
As those in power looked away.
This descriptor - oh what a dud;
No account of the flood and mud,
Or the causation of the fire.
Move now before it gets too dire:
Do make it up to higher ground,
Away from trees where they abound.
A good solution? I think not -
I’m gone before it gets too hot.
