Global Warning at the Gores?

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: June 6, 2010

An inconvenient truth about marriage…

There's global warming at the Gores.
In fact, there's much more heat in store.
"Fat Albert" isn't quite prepared
for all that Tipper wants.

I wonder if he understands
the climate change within a man
that's more than weathermen predict
as midlife starts to reign.

And what about his pretty wife?
Did she not know the change-of-life
would bring a mini-pause to what
she'd come to just expect?

Come on, you Gores. Why call it quits?
All marriages have starts and fits.
If you can make it forty years,
you surely could go on.

So here's an inconvenient truth...
When spouses start to act aloof
the climate change that they'd best heed
is "Why has love grown cold?"
