Worried 'bout another issue-less election?
Leave it to whiners and their endless confection.
'Cause now world politics is the purest of bosh:
Ukraine and Palestine will come out in the wash,
The climate's warmer, freeing the Arctic entrenched,
Turning the Earth into a paradise sun-drenched.
.
Even with that you can't satisfy the masses,
They complain, they moan like a thick pack of asses.
The new thing they scream for and issue of day?
Air-conditioned sidewalks and far-flung highway!
Controversy will rage: what temp will be right?
Blues and reds roll up their sleeves for the fight!
.
The blues want cool streets and cool piped into homes,
Cool driveways, cool parks and cool graves for our bones.
"If you're cool I'm cool" -- what else? -- is their cry,
Which the right derides as "New Age do or die,"
Says it's government into our lives buttin'
Climate-change crap, much ado about nuttin'.
.
Turning their backs on these "IQ low-fliers"
We find the inevitable cool-temp deniers,
Who say that constancy is best for our health,
High streetside A/C is an attack by stealth
From Gates and Soros and Anthony Fauci,
Whose face with each lie gets even more pouchy.
.
Well! The swords are drawn for 2024,
Just when it looked like the most massive trite bore,
With experts experting on what we could save,
By keeping all cool despite every heat wave:,
New inventions, lives saved, GDP out of sight.
Yes, outside A/C is the nation's new fight.
