David Phillips felt ill the year the ice stood still,
No skaters could it withstand,
No Zamboni was there, nor fancy silver hardware,
But only the invisible man
Then something went wrong for our storied Ice Ho(n)g
They got stuck in some Beavertail jam
And at our deadly slow pace
We lost the climate change race
Or perhaps ... we never ran
Science fiction double feature
The natural world has lost its creatures
Corona killed off Brad and Janet
There's little left of our fair blue planet
At the late night, double feature, picture show.
After mince pies and carols, we were over a barrel
When the skiers all took to the hills
It was really too hot for a Manley or Scott,
Our blade runners were put through the mill.
We were not quite so rude
as to scrap Winterlude,
But keeping it called for some skills
And when worlds collide, though it's safer outside
We are in for some terrible thrills.
Science fiction, double feature (etc.)
