VERSE 1
As I went out one morning,
Aboard a Metro train,
A forty year old woman,
Her lovelife did explain:
VERSE 2
I am a lowly staffer.
On Capitol Hill I lurk,
A-shuffling stacks of paper,
To make it look like work.
VERSE 3
Into a Senate office,
A dapper man had come.
He sat with _Wall Street Journal_,
Flipping pages with his thumb.
VERSE 4
I asked him his profession.
"A lobbyist," he said.
Fronting wealthy petro-states,
Was how he made his bread.
VERSE 5
His manner was exotic.
He had abundant charms.
Before I even knew it,
I melted in his arms.
VERSE 6
We soon became two lovers,
Put politics aside.
My own green inclinations,
I simply had to hide.
VERSE 7
My lover made his living,
Promoting oil and gas.
A climate change protester,
He thought of as an ass.
VERSE 8
The earth it would not listen:
It warmed up anyway.
At a couple degrees above normal,
My lover just said: "Nay!"
VERSE 9
The climate change got drastic,
With fire and flood routine.
My lover would not even,
Cut back on gasoline.
VERSE 10
The polar ice was melting.
The sea had come ashore.
In a Cat 500 cyclone,
My lover was no more.
VERSE 11
And so I lost my lover.
To Capitol Hill I come,
And wait to see a lawyer
Page the _Journal_ with his thumb.
