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.
