One non-themed poem by John T. Clark

A More Inconvenient Truth
by John T. Clark

Congrats to our Al Gore on his global
Warming awareness crusade. His noble
Efforts managed to open the world’s eyes
To this dire problem. But I would advise,
As he adds to his Oscar, a Nobel
Laureate title, before we propel
Him towards sainthood and further glories –
Check out his home. Twenty-rooms, two-stories,
With a pool, pool house, and guest house, all gas-
Heated, the monthly fuel bill for his glass
House surpasses, at two and a half large,
Our average home’s yearly energy charge.
As the eco-friendly conservation voice
I’m not sure Al Gore is the dynamite choice.
