INTRODUCING THE ELECTRIC-MAKING MUSHROOM - Daily Spigot 11/10/18 | poemchallenge by @margaretwise
A mushroom that can produce electricity, researchers helped to create,
With cyanobacteria and graphene nanoribbons, seems to be working just great.
The bacteria make the electricity while graphene’s collecting the currents.
The mushrooms keep the bacteria alive but other hosts tried were deterrents.
Several mushrooms connected in serial, can light up an LED light.
It’s just the beginning and this can become something that’s useful and bright.
Warblers gonna warble, we have to admit, and mate other warbling breeds,
As populations of warblers decline, they seem to embrace warbler needs.
A warbler’s been found and been declared, the offspring of 3 types of bird.
Two of them are known to have mated, and now this reveals there’s a third.
However it happened, the bird’s really cute, and we’re liking that it’s come along
To warble all day in the treetops, and to warble their warbling song.
A study of our internal clock reveals, our calorie-burning is strange.
We burn more calories doing a thing, just during a certain time range.
If we’re resting in the afternoon, we burn more than we would in the morning.
The fact that this happens, we’ve just found out, comes with a bit of a warning.
Shift working people whose clocks are abused, are generally more obese,
So maybe this custom, rotating shift timing, is something that we need to cease.
It’s being reported that Meghan and Harry, had a bit of a dust-up with the Queen,
Starting with choosing a wedding tiara, in which Harry got caught in between.
Meghan wanted an emerald tiara, but was denied it by her majesty,
Who chose for Meghan at that point, which Meghan saw as a travesty.
When Harry asked Grandma about it, she said there can be no flaunting,
And Meghan needs to realize, she’s not getting whatever she’s wanting.

Scientists have found we’ve 25 years left, ‘til we’re done for, headlines blare.
We wondered if the article mentioned, that CO2 can be sucked from the air.
Or that Magnesite now is swiftly produced, drawing CO2 from air surrounding.
So we read it and found that it didn’t, which says a lot about views they’re expounding.
The more that we read about carbon dioxide, and how it’s a threat all around,
We still have to wonder what’s going on, when a solution to remove it’s been found.
94 dollars per metric ton is the cost to extract it from the air.
Yet all anyone continues to do, is to argue about how it got there.
Scientists now can produce a mineral, that could end the global warming.
In nature it takes hundreds of thousands of years, for the mineral, Magnesite’s forming.
The scientists’ method takes 72 hours, for Magnesite to be produced.
So, will they do this or like Co2 extraction, see to it that they’re never used?
The news, the news, there's so much in the news
The daily fabrications are so grand.
You likely won't be seeing much differing of views
Because they're all in lock step, understand?
