Ocean acidification is evil: a not-so-great poem

Ocean acidification is evil.
Ocean species expect great upheaval.

Horrific for survival, expect no survival
Second worst for calcification, what an abomination!
Dire but better for growing with all signs of slowing.
Photosynthesis and reproduction fair the best, but unpleasant like all the rest.

If you’re a calcifying organism, kiss you sweet hardened ass goodbye.
Because it’s marked with a giant bull’s eye.

Badness all around but in varying ways!
If acidification is the Tea Party, then ocean species are the gays.
