I have written a special poem entitled:
"Breaking News on Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion"

"Attention all listeners - this is not, I repeat,
Not a drill - this is a REAL emergency,"
the CBS Radio announcer frantically squaked
Into a terrified, kinetic and confused audience
Out in Radioland,
"It's the oceans, I tell you -the oceans
They've gotten so blazing boiling that a huge and mythically propulsive tsunami is rushing for the coast -
Run, I repeat run to higher ground, or else descend - descend to the basements, cellars, tunells and seweres and save, I repeat, save = yourselves - NOW!
