Where have they all gone? Topic for NEW SONG
No songwriter can really write a new song without a topic and some inspiration. But I noticed something in the news lately that I am certain that Jonathan Coulton could turn into a mind-bending smash hit.
With only the tiniest help from John Hodgman, I am fairly certain that Jonathan will not be able to look into this story without getting some wonderful ideas. After all, he's already done several sea creatures and these by their absence are just screaming for a song!

If Hodgman and Coulton can't tell us where all the sea lions have gone...who can?
Perhaps someone or something is causing their disappearance!

With their bodies so furry and brown.
Sing ho-hidey-hey, have they all gone away?
For we haven't seen many around.
All I know is work is easy when you don't stress out about sea-lions.
Perhaps it is the effect of "global warming". Since it has been getting cooler on average for the last 10 years, maybe the sea lions decided to go someplace warmer!
Or, maybe they just got a good look at Nancy Pelosi !
Surely, Hodgman could give us a perfectly factual-sounding explanation.
Let's ask him!
They've long since eaten every bit of tuna in the fridge, they never hang the towels back up, and they're hogging the remote. If you ask me, they act like a bunch of animals!
California can have them BACK.
Record cold temperatures for most of the country tonight..."global warm...uh,...what?"
Oh, that's right, we are still in the cooling stage of global warming. Meanwhile, sea lions are probably swimming South...to get warm.
Does Jonathan Coulton ever comment on our mad meanderings? It would be nice to hear his take on this.
