Frightful Forecast

Weather forecast so frightful, so scary It removes from this season the 'merry' Howling winds and blowing snowdrifts Force your car off the edge of a cliff Visibility of less than half and inch Makes an experienced aviator flinch 700 flights canceled in and out of O'Hare Frustrated travelers curse, cuss and swear On bridges and overpasses icy conditions Blackening every commuter's disposition Travel advisories constantly warn of the worst For those on the road in this accursed cloudburst Oh, that I'd been created as a great big black bear ~ So I could tune all this out -- fast asleep in my lair
