Ere the ink is hardly dry El Ninos swing
How many wars will be wrought now in between
The Eagle or the Cock gets to down bird with sling [Guess which countries are the Eagle and the Cock???]

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 43

Cuck-uk ruck-cuckoo Paloma on the wing
Who gets to curry pot with 100 Bn
The Eagle or the Cock gets to down bird with sling

Are the waters receding while we loud sing
Who brought us to high point at 2015
Cuck-uk ruck-cuckoo Paloma on the wing

Ere the ink is hardly dry El Ninos swing
How many wars will be wrought now in between
The Eagle or the Cock gets to down bird with sling

Will the Good Lord re-freeze melting ice crackling
From mouths of Seine Thames or Hudson here eighteen
Cuck-uk ruck-cuckoo Paloma on the wing

Nuclear tests in Pacific still in ears ring
How many more lush love green isles sunk in sin
The Eagle or the Cock gets to down bird with sling

Cheer one hundred ninety-seven hands signing
On waters lapping on heels under heat-lid bin
Cuck-uk ruck-cuckoo Paloma on the wing
The Eagle or the Cock gets to down bird with sling

How right you are, Monseigneur Don Ron ! It only goes to show how useful it is to have a brother or two in high places at the right moment. High "tipping-point" indeed! Still, Al Gore should have remonstrated and fought back; it seems to me he gave in far too meekly. Florida always appears to be the "killing-fields" for the phoney bunch in your sun-burnt beaches for leeches, I'd say.

Referring to signing an early agreement to try to stop the surge of CO2 escaping into the atmosphere. Ice melting and waters lapping at the edges of major cities in Europe. Soon to be underwater before we can or will react.

I'm beginning to think that we have already passed several "tipping" points while the money grabbers grab more money as if it will help them and don't change and most of the governments of the world struggle to change or are incapable of changing. It's a sad state of affairs that should have stopped in the year 2000 when Al Gore was robbed of the US presidency by our House of Lords.
