Todays Weather Forecast
Today’s Weather Forecast???
Written: by Tom Wright
1/30/2013
Wednesday’s rain was in a shrouded sheet,
With puddles moving toward the ditches;
But Thursdays forecast brings no repeat,
Oklahoma weather leaves me in stitches.
Thursday starts cloudy but turns to sunny,
With northwest wind and gusts to thirty;
Weather changes make eyes red and runny,
Like to vacation in the Isle of Cape Verdi;
Today’s wind is northerly and bitter cold,
Bringing a chance of snow, though slight;
Even yesterday’s seventy was foretold,
But morning’s twenty-eight is no delight.
Twixt me and Kansas, not much but fences,
To have slowing effect on this north wind;
I’ll say I’m thrilled under false pretenses,
It has its bite when my blood is thinned.
Friday brings with it another high at fifty,
With northeast wind blowing around ten;
Turning south/southeast becoming shifty,
Saturday it’s back to the northwest again.
For Sunday’s weather, I have no clue,
May be hot and raining with sleet or snow;
It’s too deep for my mind to construe,
Oklahoma weather, one can never know.
If I long for days both calm and sunny,
And today’s cold weather seems strange.
I just remember life can be unlike honey,
And wait a short while for it to change.
