The Weather

“Everybody talks about the weather,
But nobody does anything about it.”

– Charles Dudley Warner


Me:

I am going to do something about it……..




“The Weather”


Gives us strange permission

To alter our own perspective

After given factual information

Of the temperature outside

Stating it is 20⁰ Fahrenheit

Which is fairly cold……



Then, as if out of nowhere

Presents the mind altering

Statement or digitized display

Saying (get this, it) “feels like”

It is 5⁰ Fahrenheit

Well shit, adding something

Such as, with the “wind-chill” factor

It is all of a sudden cooler


Who is making this up?



How come in the summer

There is no description such

As the “stifling-air” factor

Oh wait, it is a “dry” heat

Really, that is what

Heat does, it dries





It is bad enough

That it is cold

The only reason I thought

That it was colder

Was, because I am

Getting so much older



More Orwellian doublespeak

Built in to constantly confuse

Not accepting reality

The way that it really is

20⁰ is 20⁰ now I’m being

Informed it is not

Next, they’ll be telling me

It is cold when it is hot




With tongue-in-cheek

Methinks it is some

Forecaster of doubts to

Infiltrate the public mind

Not to accept reality

As it has been defined




As it goes on all day long

Politicians telling you

That their side is “right” while

Everyone else is wrong



Unfortunately, this will

Go on and on forever

For how do we dare

Question the weather



Reminds me of the time
In the high school band
Marching on the football field
(Known as the distraction rectangle)
During a very cold performance
The announcer gave kudos for
Everyone braving such “inclement weather”
To which the lead saxophone player shared
Amongst everyone who could hear…..

“Inclement weather, it’s fucking freezing”

Could have used some global warming back then…..


“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”
