Humor Post #106 from the world’s Awesomest & Crankiest Curmudgeon’s Middle School and YA Blog –
Okay, it’s been maybe a couple weeks since I gave y’all one of my die-no-might poems. Many of you know — and the rest of the world should know — that I’m pretty decent when it comes to puttin’ together a poem, be it a rap or something a bit more regular. I have a hard time keeping them apart myself. I’ll let you judge what kind this one is. Just judge that it’s awesome, okay? And dudes, while you’re at it,
Go spread da word/ ‘Bout dis rare cranky bird/ He speaks da truth/ To all bangin’ youth./He knows where it’s at/Ain’t no doubt o’ that/ He soars da highest/ Cause he’s da flyest.
THE CURE FOR GLOBAL WARMING
by Dr. Crankenfuss
The Earth is heatin’ up
The temps make record highs
The ocean’s much too warm
That leads to rising tides
The tides rush into streets
Buildings wash away
Peeps build sandbag walls
The waves say, “Make my day!”
Beach peeps got lots o’ problems
They want the Gov to cure ’em
The Gov ain’t got the answers
I’m glad I live in Durham
Our altitude’s 400 feet
Plenty high enough, that’s true
But if things start acceleratin’
I’ll have an ocean view
No way I’m stickin’ around
I’m puttin’ my theory to the test
I’m askin’ my mom to look
For a condo on Everest
If she won’t go for that
There’s only one way to stay afloat
I’ll spend the next twenty years
Convertin’ our house to a boat
So that’s it for now, all your freaky dudes out there.
Here’s to rappin’ our way to da stars.
From Your Dude with the ‘Tude,
Dr. Crankenfuss
