(umm…) Climate-Change Christmas Carols

Friends, leave such a theme to The New Yorker and writer Ethan Kuperberg!

OH, THE WEATHER outside is frightful,
The heat wave brutal and spiteful.
Our crops have no water to grow—
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

I’M DREAMING OF an ozone layer,
Just like the one I used to know,
Which kept out UV rays,
Before aerosol sprays,
And allowed for actual snow.

I HAVE A little dreidel,
I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready,
Oh, dreidel, I will pray—
That I can barter you for enough cans of soup to last me through the tornado.

In Mojave, we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is Mom or Dad.
He’ll say, “Did your parents escape the horrific flash floods?,” and we’ll say, “No, man.
But you can be our new dad now.”

Well, if you want to read and enjoy the rest of Kuperberg’s rhymes, visit here.  Also at the web address you’ll find a singing rendition of the carols.
