Cheers for the Weatherman
He was very specific,
For next 10 days the weather would be terrific.
Nothing but blue skies
From here to where the eagle flies.
Today it poured.
Rainy days I once abhorred,
Now wet sidewalks allow time to for TV
Without feeling so absurdly guilty.
Of today the guy has little to say,
Reporting on patterns, far away
That is likely to stray.
High pressure will not track true
Faithless lows could cause a stew
Resulting in higher humidity,
Suggesting our protagonists stupidity
Was responsible for the rapidity
With which his forecast lost credibility.
Consider how true he would be
If he reported only on what he did see,
“Yesterday was very nice
The day before had sprinkles, twice”.
Imagine our news anchor’s forecasting tomorrow’s Dow!
Or suggesting that tomorrow is now,
At least, to the extent
That he could read the firmament.
How very exciting to have all the news
Telling of tomorrow’s blues!
So lets celebrate the predictor of weather
He will hear our scorn, forever and ever.
