The Blob

Although the Russians were never coming
The Blob is an omen still.
Aided by automobiles, CO2 saves the day.
With the cooperation of the Arctic
the blob is locked away - like methane
bubbles in permafrost the sequel
is being released as we speak.
See also The Thing. This spoiler alert
brought to you by a lukewarm
Steve McQueen as Steve, teenage coal-mine
canary in an English mustard cardigan
not yet grown into his eyebrows,
holding his old man for the camera
in Big Sur, famous grape jelly
coming through the ventilation grill.
He wanted nothing to do with the inevitable
Son of Blob. He said he'd rather burn in Hell.

Is Steve wearing a medallion over a smooth/hairy at the same time - don't ask me how, it's possible for The True Greats - chest? Are his lips sunburnt? Does it look like he got a tan while smiling continuously, so there are white creases everywhere? If so, I'm in.

Cool. You can't see his medallion as he's wearing a cardigan, buttoned, and a pinstripe shirt.
