The Real Feel

We used to hear of “wind chill factors” From the weatherman, Which meant that it felt colder out When windy times began. So if the temp was 35, But gusty breezes blew, The wind chill factor might have made It feel like 22. Today that phrase has been replaced And here’s the latest deal - Despite the temperature displayed, We hear of the “real feel.” You’d think that would appeal to me, That catchy little rhyme, But since I’m change-resistant, I prefer the prior time When I took into account the way The wind would add its chill, So I’d know if extra layers Or a scarf would fit the bill.
