It has been determined that Harvey’s deluge
Caused flooding the worst that our records record
A thousand-year flood, with destruction that’s huge
And the death of at least thirty two; there’ll be more
On average a fifty-year flood should occur
Once every fifty years; that’s what is meant
Since two thousand ten Houston town and suburbs
Have hosted four five-hundred-year flood events
Also on TV news, India experiencing
Monstrous monsoons leaving some thousands dead
And multiple thousands of homes it’s demolishing
Leaving survivors sans hope and with dread
Hurricane Irma has just formulated
In the Atlantic some eight days away
It looks like this season is truly ill fated
For death and destruction, the worst to this day
So wake up deniers! The climate is warming
All prior statistics no longer apply
The climate has changed. This is just the beginning
Unless we take measures we’ll dwindle and die
