When the sea returned to Kansas.
We were unprepared
For so long, Fox had been assuring us
Global warming was a lie
I now suspect the decapod lobby
Were big investors
Where the waves were amber once
Crabs and lobsters walk daintily
Coral crusts the fish-gnawed bones of cows
Anemones bloom in a thousand burning colors
Mount Oread, KU's proud home's awash
Cyclones batter what remains
Students, faculty, and all, moved on
If our nation could still afford
Colleges, they'd have moved west and up
Denver, maybe, or Boulder
Dirt farms, instead, deepsea fishing
Off coastal Montana
I hear Nessie's been spotted there
Finally able to travel
Nice to see someone's doing well
