The Devil You Know

(Weather Forecaster Threnody)

I know, I know, I’ve compromised 
My high repute, to my demise.
I have been trashed and penalized 
When forecasts don’t materialize. 

You have put me down all along, 
But am I not more right than wrong?! 
That freezing rain followed by sleet, 
Humidity with scorching heat.

Storms, floods, high winds, rain and what not...
Stayed safely in? Now you forgot? 
I truly try so very hard 
To warn and give you a head start. 

Please be so kind, give me some slack 
When weather whims blow out of whack. 
But if you defy my patterns, 
Brace yourself and see what happens!
