Let me state what the official IPCC prediction is: Sea levels could go up as much as three-quarters of a meter in this century, but there is a reasonable probability it could be much higher than that.

A reasonable probability is the only certainty.
Sometimes the higher does just what it does
Somehow we always find a way, the higher levels have always been used to hide the agendas, attitudes and desires of lower levels, still sometimes the higher is just what it is, and does just what it does, transfigure; Christ hated pretense, yet he new the stratum of our ways of existence, our culture, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and God what is Gods.

Only in Britain could it be thought a defect to be too clever by half. The probability is that too many people are too stupid by three-quarters.

No Such Thing As Safe Levels
“Safe levels” are relative, as
Radiation kills at every level
Japanese raise levels higher

Merely A Man
Higher.
Im a king, yes, Im a head of state.
But Im the kitchen boy wholl wash your dirty plate.
I had no message and the message was,
Were all jesus, buddha, and the wizard of oz.
Im merely a man,
And I bring nothing but love for you.
Im merely a man,
And I want nothing that you cant do.
And you know its true.
That with logic and love well be lifting humanity higher.
Higher.
Im all religious figures rolled into one,
Gaddafy duck propelled from jimmy swaggarts tommy gun.
Dont promise rainbows with some golden pot,
In fact what I can offer I know youve already got.
Im merely a man,
And I bring nothing but love for you.
Im merely a man,
And I want nothing that you cant do.
And you know its true.
That with logic and love well have power enough,
To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher.
Higher!
And you know its true.
We should chase superstition and fear from our hearts,
If were going to survive and take levels of sanity higher.
Kick it up... higher.
Im merely a man,
And I bring nothing but love for you.
Im merely a man,
And I want nothing that you cant do.
And you know its true.
That with logic and love well have power enough,
To raise consciousness up and for lifting humanity higher.

Lovely Rita
Lovely rita meter maid.
Lovely rita meter maid.
Lovely rita meter maid.
Nothing can come between us,
When it gets dark i tow your heart away.
Standing by a parking meter,
When i caught a glimpse of rita,
Filling in a ticket in her little white book.
In a cap she looked much older,
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man.
Lovely rita meter maid,
May i inquire discreetly,
When are you free,
To take some tea with me.
Took her out and tried to win her,
Had a laugh and over dinner,
Told her i would really like to see her again,
Got the bill and rita paid it,
Took her home i nearly made it,
Sitting on the sofa with a sister or two.
Oh, lovely rita meter maid,
Where would i be without you,
Give us a wink and make me think of you.

We must make a very precise distinction between the official and consequently dictatorial prerogatives of society organized as a state, and of the natural influence and action of the members of a non-
official, non-artificial society.

Is This The Year The World Will End?
The Mayans knew a thing or two.
They forecast that the world would end
In two thousand and ten plus two.
I do not think we can depend
On their prediction coming true..
There have been prophecies before
Predicting that the end was due,
I do not there will be more.
I do not claim to prophecies
I have no faith in those who do.
My world will end the day I die.
I think the same applies to you.
I could be wrong quite possibly
It may be true the Mayans knew.
Enough to state with certainty.
That their prediction would come true.
The Mayans were astronomers
They left behind a legacy
In the form of calendars
What they believed would come to be.
Is this the year of destiny?
We have no choice but wait and see.
I think that very probably.
We’ll carry on regardlessly.
It just another prophecy.
Though based on erudition.
The Mayans thought mistakenly.
Would herald the destruction.
Of everything and everyone.
We hope that it will prove to be
another failed prediction.
Like every other prophecy.
What fate decrees will come to be.
The world is bound to end some day.
But when remains a mystery.
No man alive can solve today.

How Deep Do You Want To Go?
Here we are!
Finally.
At level one.
'What were those other levels,
We passed through?
And...
Just how many levels are there? '
Those 'other' levels?
They comprised the toy department.
Now we begin the seriousness,
Of our journey.
Level one is the introduction.
'And...
How many levels are there?
How deep are you taking us? '
How deep do you want to go?

A Shilling In The Meter (Fun Poem 76)
Quick
put a shilling in the meter
let the sun come out to play.
The sun being expensive
that shilling won’t last that long
and soon the rain will come back
and the sun will fade away.
I searched my pockets,
and hunted high and low
for another shilling for the meter,
but there wasn’t one there.
So we are stuck with rain
from Monday and Sunday now,
unless someone out there
has another shilling for the meter
somewhere.

This Crime
The want of this crime is astronomical,
Feeling like the weight of a star, like our own
That shines in heaven’s quarters,
As if it smiled upon our face everyday.
This crime harasses us day by day,
Feeling us like heat and never losing the effect,
It is astronomical.
The fight of a century was boundless
Like the infinite chasm called space
Where our family resides,
In a palace we call the stars.
The crime of a century has been committed
Like the message has been conveyed,
To too many people.

Weeping Meter
If you're on a weeping meter,
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
If you're on a weeping meter,
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
The more you get some pity you sit and solicit it.
With a drive you started in campaign,
And aimed to have a perfect pity party trip.
You've got your buckets ready to collect the slightest drip.
Like an attention getting kitten,
Being petted as it purrs and licks!
That's what you need!
A boost to benefit.
Like the petting of a kitten getting enjoyment out of it.
To get a little bit of stroking before it leaves...
To meander off and drift.
Satisfied and pleased.
If you're on a weeping meter,
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
Maybe you just need some petting,
And some stroking too?
Oooo...
If you're on a weeping meter,
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
Maybe you just need some petting,
And some stroking too?
Oooo...
If you're on a weeping meter,
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
You may need a boost.
