Holiday limerick


Popped into my mind while walking in Exmoor. Not very good but worth sharing as ridicule seems to be all we have left.

A political insider named Huhne,
Was appointed Chief Energy Loon.
The climate he said,
Will strike us all dead,
But my windmills will make us immune.

I agree; ridicule is the only answer, at least until TPTB see sense.

Meanwhile, inspired by a story at Tory Aardvark,
http://toryaardvark.com/2010/12/29/uk-wind-turbines-consume-more-enerygy-than-they-produce/
here's another:

Oh the idea of turbines is pleasing
But they stop when it's more than just breezing,
And in calm winters cold
When production's on hold
They need heaters to stop them all freezing.

I like that one.

As a poet, you make a great scientist, AKH. ;-)

JH - you're right, I read poetry but don't usually try to write it.
