Never Really Knowing

Depending on the place you live, The weather’s warm or cold. Perhaps that’s why you moved there; It’s the picture you’ve been sold. But Mother Nature’s in control And likes to mess around, So conditions you’d expected Might not be what you have found. In the south they’re wearing sweaters And the west is fighting fires, Maybe changing someone’s mind of Where to go when one retires. Meanwhile, I adjust my wardrobe, Wearing layers I can shed, Never really knowing what will be In days that lie ahead.

Thank you so much for catching that, Hannah! I'm becoming Queen of the Typos, a title I'm not proud to have...

Weather will change rapidly and unexpectedly "Whether" we like it or not! Ergo, your last stanza hits the Bullseye. High 5 Ilene1

Nothing stays the same over the course of a lifetime... Not just nature either. Where are Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Wards?... Look at Lebanon today, once 'the Switzerland of the Middle East... And who would have ever thought that the Empire State Building would be eclipsed by towers in Abu Dabi? Or that Harvard and Yale would become hotbeds for Hamas lovers? ... And so it goes...
