Notes About The Poem

Will those weather forecasters ever get it right (lol)

Fifty Percent Chance of Weather

Good morning, folks...John Doe here 
Live- from Channel WXYZ-TV 
Bringing you today and tomorrow's weather forecast...
And how the weekend's weather just might be 

Saturday morning starts off very nice 
Sunny and warm with the high around thirty-one 
Mixed with some rain and a possible chance of snow 
A good day to go out and have some fun 

More sunshine in the early afternoon 
With thickening clouds heading our way 
A beautiful day for a picnic party, possibly 
Or...a boat ride on the bay  

The sun returns by mid to late evening... 
With a chance of a severe thunderstorm 
A wintry mix of sleet and hail- maybe, possibly 
Right on key with today's norm 

Tomorrow's forecast looks a little better 
With a fifty percent chance of weather... 
And the low around thirty-one 
You just might see a floating feather 
 
Hoping you all have a safe, warm, cool weekend 
Enjoy your picnics, or boat rides on the sea 
John Doe, here... 
Live- from channel WXYZ-TV

Jennifer Proxenos March 21, 2022 at 4:25 AM Weather forecasters are a joke Charlie, and you bring the humor to the fore in this very charming poem. Good luck in the contest my friend, Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.

Judy Ball March 17, 2022 at 7:05 AM This is too cute and funny Charles. Just love it. Here in Alberta the weather is so changeable that there is a long running joke that goes "If you don't like the weather --- wait a minute." Very clever write my friend. God Bless, JB

Victor Buhagiar March 17, 2022 at 6:35 AM Got a laugh from that one. Well written.

Eve Roper March 16, 2022 at 10:18 PM Great commentator, Charles, should be an awesome winner.

Valsa George March 16, 2022 at 9:15 PM This is so very imaginative and entertaining, Charles ! The formal address is very appropriate and the predictions sound very studied. You are likely to get posted as a weather forecaster, if you prefer ! All the Best in the contest !

Bj Legros Kelley March 16, 2022 at 8:32 PM Sometimes I am actually thrilled that they get it wrong. I planned a huge outdoor baby shower for my sister once, all the family and some friends were invited to celebrate her miracle baby. The weather was always great that time of year, but he said a severe storm was heading our way for the big day. I decided he was wrong, prayed....begged God he was wrong. It was a beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in sight I'm glad I didn't cancel the big party :D Your poem was fun, love it! :) Great job!!

Gershon Wolf March 16, 2022 at 7:34 PM You got it, Charlie. I wouldn't put a weatherman near a hammer and a nail. That's for sure. Tonight's low - 39; tomorrow's hi - whenever I get up. ~ Al Sleet here, your hippy-dippy weatherman

Darlene De Beaulieu March 16, 2022 at 3:38 PM Hello Charles messina, these weathermen and ladies sometimes do not get the weather right. I keep saying to the air , these people need a window to look out and see that they predicted the weather wrong. Glad to see you back. Enjoy your evening my friend.

L Milton Hankins March 16, 2022 at 7:32 AM A really good one, Charlie. Funny, and your flow is very much like our local weatherman. I loved it. Welcome back!!! Hope everything is going better. Charles Messina March 16, 2022 at 2:01 PM Hey Milt, thank you very much! Feels good to be back. Spring is almost here...things are absolutely going better. Thanks for asking !!
