Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

The Weather People Are Not Following the Script

I'd like you all to keep this under your hat

It's a real mild winter where we're at

Grass is showing in the park cross the way

The sun is shining almost every day

Something's got crossed but complaining I'm not

Last winter was ugly it's surely a plot

The weather people are not following the script

Maybe they should all be repeatedly whipped

Till they beg for mercy down on their knees

For confusing us locals, trying to please

We'd rather you tell us the weather will be fine

Then we can blame you when the sun don't shine

Your job, you can have it, it's a no-win situation

Predicting the weather for someone's vacation

It's really a gamble, just bite your tongue

The odds are great, you're going to get stung

Laura Breidenthal January 30, 2015 at 1:07 AM First of all, your output is incredible! I have a lot to catch up on, and I'm pretty sure I will always be trying to catch up, hee hee. No matter, I enjoy reading your work very much. I have no need for the weather channel here in California. Its mostly sunny all year. I do enjoy the rain in the winter though. You've got some very memorable lines in this one! Keep it up! Always, Laura Jack Ellison January 30, 2015 at 7:37 AM You are the sweetest, Miss Laura!!! "Its mostly sunny all year" Do you think I could come live with you... maybe... I wouldn't be a bother... do you think? Huh! Love and big huggeroonies, Jack XXX

Eileen Manassian January 29, 2015 at 12:06 PM Oh dear, Kenny. You tell them! Unless it's a pretty weather GAL! ;) Then just smile and take precautions. Oh dear...that didn't sound right! Oh my!

Carol Eastman January 29, 2015 at 11:54 AM Perhaps the weather men should have St. Jude as their Patron Saint, Just like Dragon. The Saint for Lost Causes. Tho the weathermen HAVE been accurate. Perhaps they're helping the fates string their weave on their looms. Maybe I should do that for Dragon. NAW! Where's the fun in that! I'm writting a poem where Dragon enters the Army to be with Casey... Poor Dragon... He's to young and just not Army material! I'll finish it a bit more and put it up next week... (Enjoy the sun, we are too.) Jack Ellison January 29, 2015 at 12:19 PM I'll be a-waitin'! I don't envy these weather people's job! When they're right, so what... when they're wrong, everybody jumps on them!!! No thanks XX
