Playing with Prometheus

A Promethean Pun

Each day, while waiting for deliverance,

You were de-livered.

Of Hubris and Global Warming

It was one titanic blunder

to rob the God of Thunder,

And give his flaming property to us.

When we used the stolen fire,

To light our suicidal pyre,

Zeus rolled his eyes and shrugged.
