The Hairdo
……
Al Gore very much wants you
to subscribe to giving a fine hairdo
to a wrestling match with a wallaroo
by combing out your CO2.
Now each time Old Blue feels perverse,
he flips and his field goes into reverse
he goes all quiet, he gets quite terse.
then …it's better imagined in pictures than verse.
Before
During
And after
That perfect storm's the magnetic field
and it's less likely, that it will yield
than that gravity, will be repealed,
or Al Qada's feminine side revealed.
