A Percentage of Chances

The most startling things about the weather How they can change in a moment’s notice If today it is foul, tomorrow it may be better. Weatherpersons surely get lots of practice Arranging the highs and lows on their maps How they can change in a moment’s notice. Warm spells are often followed by cold snaps And, of course, it can also be vice versa Arranging the highs and lows on their maps. In most places weather can be a lot worser Based on what one is experiencing then And, of course, it can also be vice versa, The weatherpersons never know when, So, they give only a percentage of chances Based on what one is experiencing then. I am amazed by the device that enhances The most startling things about the weather So, they give only a percentage of chances If today it is foul, tomorrow it may be better.
