Weather Or Not

Here’s an observation that
You might consider funny – 
If the weathermen predicted certain rain,
Many might be disappointed if
It turns out being sunny,
Though such disappointment 
Goes against the grain.

For most welcome brighter days
To lift the spirits needing boosting
As opposed to those where clouds bring thoughts of gloom,
But for folks who lately feel
They’re better off indoors, just roosting,
There’s a preference
To stay inside the womb.

At my age experiencing any sort of weather is better than none. Rain, unless excessive, is always welcome; with humidity not so much. So far the lockdown hasn't made me claustrophobic. Just "roosting", however would have me climbing walls. / M

Hawai'i News Now weatherman Guy Hagi is locally known as "Lie" Hagi, so modern technology does not have much to brag about in weather prediction! Yes, womb life is an attraction, but so is wind at a mountain peak you have just climbed! Nicely put! Aloha! Rico

Who needs the outdoor when the TV and internet are inside? Plus you don't need sunscreen, bug spray, or an umbrella if you stay indoors! *wink wink*

I love the rain, and weathermen and women, are far from accurate all too often. I enjoyed your lines, Ilene.
