Metallica for RDP Sunday

Metallica

Use your cook pots for umbrellas, ‘cuz it’s raining iron rain.
I don’t mind heavy metal, but as weather? It’s insane.
The drumming is excessive, and if you can’t take the pain,
you don’t want to be caught out singing in the rain.

If you plan on going wading, I’d have another think,
for the puddles that you’re ogling seem to be full of zinc.
When it snows, most of the snowflakes have crystals made of lead—
not a pleasing prospect when they’re falling on your head.

Oceans full of copper, bronze and steel and tin
may be the place you have to die for to be in.
Silver hills and valleys, rivers made of gold
are all that’s left now that our nature’s all been sold.

Does tungsten please your taste buds? Can you eat the golden calf?
With no leather, those bronze slippers aren’t as comfortable by half.
Aluminum for cooking, some folks think can’t be beat,
but what you use for cooking you cannot also eat!

Now they’ve fracked away our water and melted polar ice,
Mother Nature thinks a world of metal would be nice.
So put away your appetites, for food will be passé
once the plants and animals have all been put away.

Say thank you to our rulers. Say thank you very much
for their self-serving decisions and their Midas touch.
Some of us saw this coming but the others did not see
They were too busy getting their news from Fox TV!!!

The RDP Sunday Prompt is “bronze.” Lest you think I go to far: “Researchers Discover Faraway Planet Where the Rain is Made of Iron.

Bronze Bird for Cellpic Sunday, June 15, 2025

Don’t ask me why this bird captured my interest given everything else that was going on during yesterday’s “No Kings” rally, but it did.  It was part of the surround of the gazebo in the center of Ajijic Plaza, where the speakers and musicians were standing. Propped behind it is a sign rested there by its carrier who was busy listening to speeches.  I was listening as well, but couldn’t keep my eyes from straying.
