Martin Howard Samuel Poet Rhyme

Ill Wind

Someone on the TV
told me bright sunshine
red sky at night
the outlook is fine
and the app on my phone
says blue skies are due
but when has the forecast
ever been true
it seems like the Sahara
with no oasis in sight
and just another foolish dream
to see me through the starry night
a voice on the radio
said the storm will disperse
things won't go south
or take a turn for the worse
but it's an ill wind won't blow
all the grey clouds away
no matter what
the weatherman may say
it was an ill wind
blew for you to stray
and it's an ill wind
won't bring you home today

Darlene De Beaulieu September 30, 2025 at 11:06 AM Hello Martin Samuel, It seems to me that the weatherman does not always get it right. He says it wull rain today, so we wait of the rain, It never comes. or it will be cold outside. andit is not. I feel the weather man needs a window to look outside. Enjoy your day my frikend. /Darlene/
