Spring, The Cool Version Returns

Clouds are back, with them rain

As warmer Spring takes a refrain

Suddenly the forest is quite green

Long distance views, no longer seen

Dogwoods blooms beginning to pop

Poplar leaves will not stop

Almost seems March is trying

To go out like a lion

Coolness coming for two days

Then back to average ways

Think I'll be building a fire

As I do not aspire

To be a cool 

April fool

Today On Earth

Quake numbers today, very low

A new sunspot starting to show

In town today, in gloves & mask

To take care of the shopping task

Tried to find comet last night

Clear skies but not in sight

Caught the show early this morn

As 3 planets, in the east do adorn

Saturn sitting just above Mars

Bright Jupiter outshines all stars

Venus closing in on Pleiades

Binocs will let you squeeze

Out more than Seven Sisters

But, first, stay a virus resister

Just mute the prez, so you don't hear

New daily message, always unclear

Still no hint of a real leader

Big concern: followers of the tweeter

So, stay safe, be smart

8 feet, stay apart!!

Today On Earth

A New Story Every Day!

While corona numbers soar

One thing is for sure

Punk'n Head prez is loving it

Gets to show off why he's a twit

With a press conference every day

Gets to get up & have his say

Doesn't care what he said yesterday

Won't let the truth get in the way

Long as he's getting attention

Knows supporters have little retention

Rest of us just ignore his lies

Like he ignores health care cries

Protective gear & ventilators

"They're coming" sooner or later

Every day his stories change

As rest of us rearrange

Our lives, our world, hanging on

'Til better times come along

Looking like that could be awhile

Gotta look for new ways to smile!!

Today On Earth

Me, hunkered down is what I do

Blog, then take a walk through

The rapidly greening trees

Suddenly, dealing with bees

And, other flying pests

All looking to ingest

A little sip of my blood

With heat, insects soon a flood

Sleeves, protective glasses, a hat

Make 'em work to eat this cat!

Another lower than average day

Of quakes on USGS display

Front came thru late & dry

Today's temps not as high

As near 90 yesterday

For short time clouds out of way

Moon, Venus & Subaru

All came shining through

But, comet, I couldn't find

Moon likely made the sky blind

To tiny little fuzzy ball

Time will tell if visible to all

Sad virus note,  John Prine

Got corona, unlikely to be fine

That said

Likely, many more dead

So, be smart

Stay apart

Up to you, up to me

No help coming from DeeCee

Today On Earth!

Gloomy Times Prevail:(

Forecasts call for Sunday to be warm

Not so far, as clouds still swarm

We're a long way from getting hot

Guess Earth's still calling the shots

Glimpse of Venus & Moon thru the haze

Haven't seen the Pleiades in days

What I am seeing is more green

As new leaves burst on the scene

Corona may have humans laying low

But, rest of world is on the go

Pumping pollen, building nests

Moving forward with breeding quests

Rest of the planet oblivious

To the virus killing us

Just like we don't seem to care

About CO2 going into the air

And, the damage it's already doing

With temps on an upward skewing

With human travel mostly shut down

As most people go to ground

Less pollution, skies clearing

We still won't learn, I am fearing

Waiting to rush back to burning

Fossil fuels from fracking churning

Up gas from deep shale

Exxon greed will prevail

Morons living in science denial

Yet beg for help during virus trial

Like want DeeCee doling out cash

But, don't want socialist rash

All got our hands in the pie

But, many blaming other guy

Still at the top, got no leader

Everyday, more lies from the tweeter

Misinformation, vitriol & blame

Sociopath, without shame

Only wants his face in view

While he cares not about you

Or about me

Reminder, Earth tough place to be

Not sure which is worse

Virus or presidential curse

Time will move on, both will pass

Hunker down, save your own ass

Today On Earth!!

Another average quake day

Nothing wild underway

Big storm along Great Lakes

Western US with the shakes

As another winter blast

Reminds us cold not quite past

Still, comet headed toward the sun

Could make for viewing fun

Come late April or May

Need telescope or binocs today

And, clouds out of the way

But, Earth will have final say

About it all

Big or small

Stay safe!

Today On Earth

The Wedge Vs. The Front

The Wedge has looped the Front

Giving the warm air a blunt

Driving cool air our way

Yet, sun already eroding it away

It is Spring & warm air will win

Tomorrow's clothing should be thin

Southern air will make a surge

Giving everyone an urge

To get outside & enjoy

Spring's sneaky two day ploy

Cuz cool & rain back by mid-week

In Spring, consistency, do not seek!

And, space we must all maintain

As the virus begins to drain

Our unprepared sick care system

Rational warnings, we resist 'em

Individually, we can be smart

Call, text, but stay apart

Today On Earth

As for Earth, still a'spinning

Microbes, still a'winning

Only couple of 5 quakes today

Well, Vanuatu just put 5.9 in play

No tsunami warnings anywhere

So, ocean not looking to share

Big ole splash

Giant wave crash

Today

Anyway!

Tonight, if sky stays clear

Moon, Venus & Subaru, all near

Lovely cluster in southwest

Just after dark will be best

Subaru, aka: Pleiades or Seven Sisters

For Greek or English insisters

A cute little star cluster

It's not little dipper! Myth buster

Venus will be inside

Cluster, on April 3, you should slide

Out for a peek

(Binocs will help)

As we all seek

Companionship

Sky look, always good trip!

Do your part!!

West Texas Freakin' Frackin' Quakin'

West Texas quakes are up to mag. 5.0

How much higher will they go?

When you inject salt water down deep

Old fault zones will begin to creep

When you blow up shale formations

You get some weird combinations

You get a little oil & a little gas

But, much more salt water: trash!

Can't use salt water for irrigation

So, you're left in a tough situation

What to do with the fracking waste?

Usual extraction result, done in haste

Pump it down where no one will see

Deny any problem there happens to be!

Were just quakes in Oklahoma

Now they are moving over

To Tex/NewMex border

Few residents, so no disorder

Local ground water,

Already pumped dry

So, keeping out pollution,

Don't even have to try!

So, gas prices stay low

And, now little driving, whoa!

Lying prez, "by Easter, virus done

All great, I did it, we won"

Sadly, corona just hitting US fan

Worse, still no national plan

Tough to trust a "leader"

That's just a lying tweeter

Run up debt few trillion more

While reality continue to ignore

Causes: Chinese overpopulation

Cruise, airline rapid relocation

When economy is based on shopping

Any crisis, result: commerce stopping

Yet, on the virus continues to swarm

As our lovely planet continues to warm

But, here's the thing

Greed & war will not bring

Anyone good food or health

Only for a few, more wealth

Too bad, think we all know

Corona got a long way to go

Today On Earth

Here in VA, cold front nearby

Above: cool, below: temps high

Already hit 71 here

Tomorrow chill will steer

Back down our way

Sunday, another warm day

Or, so they say

Spring roller coaster underway!

Got a look at Jupiter early today

Mars & Saturn, trees in the way!

Clouds blocked a comet check

No way to spot a hazy speck

Haven't seen Venus in ages

As it drifts thru crescent stages

Should be near waxing moon

Constant clouds, unlikely to see soon

Day started sunny, but, not anymore

Still, about time to get out the door

Big ole dog just came home

 After morning neighborhood roam

Actually, doesn't much wander

With a girlfriend over yonder

Plays til she goes in

Then heads home again

Quick wrap up, daily quakes

Iran, Indonesia got the shakes

And, down along Scotia plate

Pressures build, but can't wait

Please, release me, let me go

Then we get an earthquake show!

Today

And everyday

On Earth!

Thursday & Another Rotation

Earth has carried on with another spin

Corona vs Humans, who will win?

Squirrels & birds in yard, do not care

Long as I put seed & suet out there

My big dog has no idea

Why we're staying clear

And, folks won't get near

Normal day! he's outta here

Did breakfast & little sleep in

Then off the see his girlfriend

Finally, sun is breaking through

The sky-bound morning dew

Warmer temps coming today

With hot air just a day away

Me, finishing up my second cup

After gobbling KrispyKreme up

(Tried a dunkin' not long ago

Threw it out, so gross, yo!)

Watching a Pileated, monster bird

With screaming cry that is heard

Every where in the woods

Alarmist? He's got the goods

Doves starting to glide on in

Skittish rascals with bobbin' chin

Yesterday's rain now off Maritimes

As I throw out some daily rhymes

New normal, folks starting to adjust

How to knock off stay-in rust

Going to driveway happy hour later

& Obrigado drive-up to help a waiter

We can visit, just gimme my space

Don't need breath in my face:)

Now seeing why America is best

Local hospitals with their own test

Easy now to see where the problem be

Entrenched slime in DeeCee

From there still no help coming

Supply shortage, hospitals bumming

Punk'n Head prez, what a dumb-ass

Set a date when wants this to pass

We still could use a leader

Still only got a tweeter!

Be safe, be smart

Just stay...apart

Today On Earth

🌋

18 volcanoes on this week's list

Mezo-America had been missed

But that isthmus is back

With volcanoes on attack

Fuego, Santa Maria & Pacaya

All cranking in Guatemala

Popo spewing again in Mexico

Steady as aftershocks in Puerto Rico

Nevado del Ruiz & Reventador

That's Colombia & Ecuador

Want volcanoes, still place to be

Is Indonesia & PNG

Or Kamchatka & Japan

Or in Alaska's Isles Aleutian

Most volcano locations, quakes, too

Rock moving, as heat pushes through

Marianna trench getting deeper

Plate subduction, always a creeper

Kamchatka; big aftershocks today

Surprise, Algeria with big sway

Mentone TX just took 4.7 hit

Make you think about fracking a bit

But, really in middle of no where

Rest of Texas unlikely to care..

Out in space, if I ever see night sky

Will be looking for comet flying by

Comet ATLAS above Dipper & N. Star

Need tele or binocs so far

But, it'll keep heading to the sun

Could be some late spring fun

Will it brighten or fall apart

Never sure what's in a comet's heart

Like coronaV, time will tell

Bright or fade, sick or well

Happy Thirstday

Today On Earth

Kamchatka Trench Quaking!

To create a magnitude 7.5 quake

Serious slipping it does take

That's what went down today

Off Kamchatka peninsula, big sway

Pacific plate under North American

Another day, Earth's subduction plan

Quake that big could create a wave

But, today, ocean seemed to behave

Otherwise, average day of 30 quakes

With almost as many PR after-shakes

That fault zone is showing no sign

Of slipping into a state benign

That seems to be where we're going

Here, rain gone, only clouds showing

Headed to drier days, warmer temps

As away, any hint of winter limps

Also limping, the big dog, Breyer

So, only to short walks do we aspire

Seems to be nothing raw

On his left front paw

He keeps licking, but I can't see

What my big dog's issue can be

Poor guy

Not feeling spry

Today On Earth

I been needing

To do some reading

Hope Jahren's

The Story Of More

Just downloaded

Already well into

Like her writing style

Often leaves wry smile

She looks at how we got

To a world quickly getting hot

With so many mouths to feed

Got the food, but, also the greed

Agree, we'll continue to lose

Until women have right to chose

To have fewer kids

Else, population lids

Will be Earth applied

Reality can be denied

But, as mentioned, Earth don't care

What virus we wear

Today On Earth

Stay safe

Stay apart

See the prez

Hit mute!!

A Punk'n Head in a suit

Continues to steer us wrong

Does not belong

Out where we can hear

Miss-info & fear

Hit mute & look away

On Earth, Today!!

Cool, Warm, Cool, Warm, Hunker

It's a bit warmer today

Before rain & cool come our way

Then we get the warm again

Any hint of winter looking thin

Pileated woodpecker, sooo big

Working near ground, their gig

There's one right now, in front yard

Ripping up downed trees, hard

Termite search, shredded debris

They will tear up an old tree

Also, sound the warning cry

When dog & I go walking by

Downy's & Red Bellies out, too

Giving the suet quite the chew

Rest of planet with little concern

As our pandemic continues to churn

Wanna survive, don't be a fool

Gotta follow the simple rule

Adapt, Migrate or Die

Without adjustment, wave bye bye

Fools in congress, still can't agree

Republicans always looking to see

Biggest corps get money for free

Dems trying to help you & me

Actually, while homebound, I'm good

Stuck here in the wood

Susan Collins, whiny Maine-er

Now hypocritical complainer

Excuses but no spine

With impeachment on line

Now looking to toss blame

Still no plan, still no shame

Dumbass prez still with lies

Guy takes his virus cure: dies!

Now wants some back to work

Help economy, so he won't seem a jerk

Every time he speaks, more trouble

Living in his rich bitch bubble

Worldwide hope; virus takes him out

Ubiquitous celebrations all about

I'd join in celebratory gun fire

Better world without tweety liar!

While that may seem

Harsh & extreem

VA. seal reminds us

Sic Semper Tyrannus

Today on Earth

Pacific subduction makes a shift

With a little push from a rift

To southern edge of the plate

Still nothing too great

Couple of 5's off Chilean coast

At 5.3, Fiji shouldn't boast

Another average 30-ish quake day

Plus PR aftershocks, minor sway

No quakes here, more rain forecast

Most of tomorrow it should last

Then looking at warm & dry

With March wind-down nigh

Stay safe & keep your distance

Seems best virus resistance

But, get out for some fresh air

It's OK out there

Today On Earth

A Raw, Hunkered Down Monday

Here we go, hunker down week two

Hope it's going ok for you

Not very spring-like outside

Good day to hunker & hide

Stuck in low 40's with rain

On a world gone slightly insane

Virus numbers continue to soar

As we brace for more & more

With nasty Punk'n Head "leader"

Villainous, hateful, lying tweeter

Every time he speaks his low IQ

Come shining right on through

Congress can't agree on a bill

As to direction money will spill

No one stepping up for needed tasks

Making/supplying ventilators & masks

Took for senators to get sick

To upset Mitch, pussy ass limp dick

Real help: congressional viral surge

With old white republican purge

Clueless incompetence on display

More & more every day

While around me, more shots I hear

Macho fools making it clear

It's their guns neighbors should fear

Revving trucks & swilling lite beer

With racist, moronic refrain

Make 'Merica White Again

On the Plains, rocks doing little shift

With quakes along edge of old rift

Kansas, OK & Texas, a line

Reminder, maybe fracking's not fine

Ring O Shakes active today

From Tonga to Galapagos a'sway

Utah & Caribbean aftershocks

Along San Andreas, slipping rocks

Just Earth doing adjustment thing

As we listen to our planet sing

An earthquake aria everyday

As storms rage & volcanoes play

Solar activity still very low

And, onward goes the planet show

Which I can't see with the shrouds

Of condensation clusters, clouds

If it's clear, get out for a look

Or hunker inside with a good book

This new normal is here to stay

Into April, maybe May..

or June, who can truly say

What we got coming our way

Today On Earth

A Minor Spring Stall

Big High dome over Canada sending

Air our way, cool humidity descending

So, it's a cool cloudy day here

In a world gripped in fear

World seems mostly shutdown

CoronaV still moving around

Still we look around for a leader

Still all we got is a tweeter

Telling lies to cover his ass

Still giving science/reality a pass

Mixed messages emerge everyday

Cuz no idea what prez will say

Thinks he's smart, we know he's not

Won't listen to advice he's got

Secretary Rex, knew all along

He's really a freaking moron

Still slinging blame, still no plan

Still all sycophants, every republican

So, on mayors & govs. we must rely

And, on ourselves to get by

Hunkering is mostly what I do

Wander woods a time or two

Decided to reach out electronically

Get in touch, see how folks be

First call was a blast

Hope more are coming fast

Seems good time to get in touch

With folks we don't see that much

Can't sit down to share bread

So, text, email or call instead

Hunker down, let's try to stay safe

And, hope we slow viral strafe

Today On Earth

Thanks flowers, for doing your thing!!

We need the beauty reminder

As usual, Indonesia & PNG

Is where today's biggest shakes be

Yesterday Greece, Croatia today

With surprise mag. 5.4 sway

Nevada & Utah aftershocks slow

But, still rocking in Puerto Rico

Up in space, planet show goes on

Not for me 'til clouds move along

That may not happen 'til midweek

As cool & rain turns Spring meek

One good effect virus has had

Our CO2 production not so bad

Amazing how quick numbers change

Planet always ready to rearrange

Inputs & outflows, whatever comes

Earth will tally up the sums

And, become something new

Then we Adapt, that means you

Cuz, Migration now sure on hold

Sadly, death option looking bold

We know planet will continue to spin

In long term, we know it'll win

But, it's still best planet we know

And, we got no where else to go

So, enjoy your isolation

Your stay at home vacation

And, follow the Golden Roll

Stop the hoarding & greed

Just pick up what you need

Today On Earth

Chill Returns, Sanity, Not Sure

Mid 80's is gone, Front is thru

Rain drops, again, only a few

Today mix of sun & cloud

With temps none too proud

Plus a little northern breeze

But only baby leaves on trees

Dogwood blooms about to pop

CoronaV, no signs it'll stop

Prez, no signs he has a clue

He talks, then they correct miscue

Just shows what you can do

Got money & lawyers working for you

Still, how can anyone believe a word

Coming from this lying turd

Always looking for someone to blame

When he's caught at his lying game

Still no clue, still no plans

From slimy republicans

Now been caught, insider trading

Excuses, denial, more trust fading

Got no test kits or masks

Can't do basic helping tasks

While they ignored ticking clock

Were hurriedly selling stock

Took oath, to break: treason!

Firing squad would be pleasin'

Or lock in room with viral spray

Leave 'em til all gone away!

Tough times, tough measures:)

Add to most peoples pleasure!!

Today On Earth

But, rest of planet don't care

What's up with human fare

Seasons change, life goes on

Be here long after we're gone

Quakes will shake things up

Greece won today's shimmy cup

With quake at mag. 5.7 

Will make stone house unleaven

Near Marianna trench

Earth got a mag. 5 pinch

'Tween Madagascar & Mozambique

Seafloor, another mag. 5 tweak

Pretty good shake near Reno

Unsettled nerves in casino

(wonder, are they even open?

Pathetic gamblers still hopin')

Out in space, no big news

Clouds again, blocked planet views

Moon is really close to New

'Tween Earth & Sun, passin' thru

My coffee is gone, big dog, too

Maybe time to get on a shoe

Get out on planet for a stroll

Ready for cool, back in control

Keep it safe as you hunker down

Don't have to go out on the town

To enjoy your planet

Just go outside

Today On Earth!

Summer-Like Start To SPRING!

It would not

Be wrong to say

It's HOT

This first spring day

But, with spring we know

That will soon go

And, a big Cold Front

Is about to shunt

Into our world

Hint, winds on swirl

And, always hot

Before a cold shot

Headed for weekend chill

As Boreas will spill

That front, then on stall

Start of week, rain for all

Got a break in the clouds

Saw planets shining proud

Jupiter & Mars, so close

Early, when released dog nose

Raccoons, squirrels & a bear

Crazy scents out there

Big dog just came home

After his morning roam

Gotta be hot, covered in fur

So, he's laying on cool floor

Gold Finches back as a flock

As, in wind, feeders rock

Spring, everyone got the need

To feed & breed

Rest of Earth, no corona fuss

All dealing with own virus

Cuz, they are everywhere

Even our DNA they share

More we know

Wilder the show

Today On Earth

Inside Earth, heat wants out

Pressures rise, movement no doubt

So, we got quakes today

7 at or over a mag. 5 sway

Utah aftershocks are way down

Puerto Rico, still shaky ground

Today's big quakes mostly sea floor

'Cept China & Mongolia, not sure

Of any damage there

China unlikely to care

Not real "Chinese"

Just Mongolians & Nepalese..

Track much carnage world-wide

China's overpopulated tide

Most animal declines & extinctions

Puny male Chinese superstitions

Totalitarian slime

Biding their time

Global surveillance & control

Steal & sicken more, they'll roll

Hateful, scary, crowded place

Dishonesty, Sino-national disgrace

Our lying prez wants to emulate

Total control idea, oh great!

Take note

Get out & vote

☄

Comet ATLAS getting bright

Above Big Dipper late at night

Still need a telescope

But, soon binocs a hope

Could be naked eye in April

20+ years since comet thrill

Sun will decide

Length of this ride

Stay tuned, enjoy the warm

Soon cold will swarm

Today On Earth

Ursa Major With Early Spring Visit!

Animals adjust to climate change

So, bird feeding schedule I rearrange

Been taking feeder in at night

And, my hunch was right

Without winter snow or cold

Hibernation was getting old

And, our local large black bear

Was back outside, right here

Looking like a void in the yard

So black, light reflection is hard

But, set off motion detector lights

Saw them? something ain't right

With my clap & yell

He abled off, like, "oh, well"

Same guy I've been seeing for years

Usually mid-April when he appears

Like hummers, harbinger of SPRING

Today is that EQUINOX thing

Just before midnight

Sun will be right

Over the equator

Winter, seeeeya later

Today On Earth Starts Spring!!

Shaky planet is quiet no more

Quakes all around Pacific shore

South of Indonesia, a mag. 6.2

But, no tsunami rolling thru

N. Cali coast rocking at 5.2

Utah; lots of aftershocks for you

Volcano list has also grown

As more ash & lava is shown

Western Pacific dominates list

Yet, Meso & South America insist

On still making volcanic noise

Reykjanes, also, one of the boys

21 mountains this week

Showing their freak

Here already hit 70

Mid-80's tomorrow we'll see

Before another brief temp drop

And, another little rain pop

Into early next week

March rain: 1/4" still pretty meek

Corona still on the rampage

USA still not to prep stage

Got no leader

Only little bitch tweeter

So, hang on & hunker down

Never know it in Louisa town

People wandering everywhere

Keep distance, only care

We will see, what we see

Who knows where we'll be

Earth is still the boss

Cares not about our gain or loss

So, take care

Out there

Today On Earth

Utah Rocked With 5.7 Quake

Just west of SLC, mag. 5.7 quake

Gave Utahans early morning shake

Must have thought angel Moroni

Throwing lightning from the sky

But, hard to tell what they think

Living in giant salt sink

There is good skiing in hills nearby

Lots of desert, dry snow piles high

Still weird when ruled by a cult

Paternalism: overbreeding the result

Aftershocks will keeping coming

Power loss only known bumming

Pacific-Aussie boundary quakes

Gave sea floor mag. 6+ shakes

Otherwise, pretty quiet quake day

As usual, clouds got in the way

Of planets with moon display

Will it actually rain today?

Only 0.13' so far for March

Left the ground, with minor parch

Maples starting to show red buds

Ahead of coming leaf floods

Warm front mess headed here

How much rain overnight unclear

But, warm air will rush in behind

Thur. 70's, Fri. 80's to remind

Winter is mostly done, over

Later Thursday seasonal turnover

Again, weekend will cool down

Before another warmer round

As worldwide we all hunker down

While our pretend "leader" lies more

Now, claims he saw pandemic before

Anyone else. What a lying pig

Sociopath in a blond wig

Then with every word from vp pence

Realize he is so far beyond dense

Russian & Chinese misinformation

Got us in current situation

Most given away their privacy

Who on facebook will I see

If that is where you get your news

Then all your views will be skewed

To tell you what you want to hear

Outcome is now quite clear

Got a "leader" that's a moron

So, we all gotta just hang on

Today, small asteroid fly-by

Closer than moon, but won't enter sky

Little reminder, lot of stuff out there

Best known or stay unaware?

Me, I'd rather know

Where we're gonna go

What's coming our way

But, currently, hard to say

One thing is for sure

Ain't no viral cure

And, no help coming from DeeCee

On nothing can congress agree

When senate let prez off the hook

Slammed shut the reality book

Earth given us new reality

Live crowded, in proximity

To animals, species jump you'll see

Microbes travel for free

Were here way before you & me

When we're gone, they will still be

In charge

And, always at large

Today On Earth

St. Patrick's Day-Closed

One of the biggest parties of the year

Is shut down for viral fear

St. Paddy's, for bars is huge

Now employees, taking refuge

Waiters make zero cash

When fool's decisions, unplanned, rash

Stock market continues to tank

Punk'n Head prez's job: rank

Got a new story everyday

Don't panic! Do! We just can't say

When economy is based on shopping

Shutdown will lead to some dropping

Still senate won't agree or act

November; repubs should be sacked

What ya gonna do Mitch?

Like prez, ya pussy ass bitch

Prez, "we'll be ready next time"

No, you won't, you moron slime

Government's #1 job, protection

Current plan only, Obama rejection

Everything he did, I'm gonna undo

So, how's that working for you?

Was good idea, pandemic prevention

And, long-term employee retention

But, fired people with a clue

Cause they wouldn't lie for you

When it all hit's the fan

It's verified, you're so not the man!

At least, Earth is fairly calm for now

But, soon we will all bow

To heat waves & rising seas

Still we burn oil, cut down trees

With over crowding, more pandemics

Yet greed & corruption are systemic

Fools with cell phones reject science

While on it, they have total reliance

Don't like evolution, so don't "believe"

But, Natural Selection you can't deceive

Wanna make it on earth, be the best

Everyday, gonna be another test

Adapt, Migrate or Die

The Rules, ain't no lie

Adapt? we were not quick

Migrate? Nope ya gotta stick

Right where you are

Ain't no one going far

But, quake numbers are low

No mountains looking to blow

Hurricane season, at a lull

Only virus, doing a cull

Still won't rain, only few drops

But, I've got plenty of liquid hops

So, at tirehouse, all is OK

Just clouds in the way..

So, can't see planet show

Tomorrow is the day to go

To a window, pre-dawn, look east

Will be Jupiter, Mars, Moon feast

Thursday morn, Saturn fly-by

Treats for a discerning eye

Hope it clears for a look

Hope ya gotta good book

Hope you're able to hunker well

Cuz only time will tell

When coast will be clear

But, need prez gone to reduce fear

Can't happen soon enough

'Til then, times will be tough

Hang in there

Today On Earth
