Playing with Prometheus

A Promethean Pun

Each day, while waiting for deliverance,

You were delivered.

Of Hubris and Global Warming

It was one titanic blunder,

To rob the God of Thunder,

And give the hot property to us.

While we rashly used his fire,

To light our suicidal pyre,

Zeus flung his dregs and shrugged.
