Methane HD

Methane The oncoming methane disaster Is too big for humans to master; The reason we’re beat: With increasing heat The bubbles rise faster and faster. If methane really goes nuts, It will be a quick kick in the guts; Though we might not agree On the time and degree, It’s coming, no ifs, ands, or buts. Here comes the methane: it’s troubling, Your woes are, at minimum, doubling; It will chomp on your brain, And make you insane, Bubbling, bubbling, bubbling.... Methane releases might mean The end of the whole Holocene: We’ll become obsolete ‘Cause we burned stuff for heat And triggered a doomsday machine. Our air will get more CH4 As ice melts yield methane galore; Getting the math straight, The totaled up clathrate Adds up to too much to ignore. Many things could have come down the track To strike the definitive whack, But clathrates that thaw Might be the last straw That breaks the poor camel’s back. == It’s been running around in my brain, Who knows? Maybe I’ll go insane; Would you like to know why? Cause it’s coming, no lie, It’s no lie, it’s no lie—methane. Bad news as we swirl down the drain: Our thing will be gone, leaving pain; Lethal methane is nigh, Big supply, it’s no lie, It’s no lie, it’s no lie—methane. There’s no way that we can detain Disaster, the experts explain; Instead of a high, We will die, it’s no lie, It’s no lie, it’s no lie—methane. == Playing Russian roulette in the gloom, The gun at our head’s armed with doom: The sound goes “click...click,” Like a clock: “tick...tick...tick,” And one of these days—“BOOM!” Hooray! We’re going to Mars, If there’s methane, we’ll hand out cigars— But discreetly ignore What we should explore Here on earth, not out in the stars. The time remaining is brief Before abrupt end of our grief; When the methane goes “boom,” We escape from the doom, And finally get some relief. The methane, bubble by bubble, Will heat what remains of the rubble; It’s not what we planned— On the other hand, At least it’s the end of the trouble. ##
