Boots And Brollies

Drumbeat rhythm, on the rooftops,
Hear the vibrations of the raindrops,
Hailstones pelting, high-voltage flash,
Puddles forming, high winds thrash.

Boots and brollies are needed when,
Rain’s been forecast by the Weathermen.
Thus keeping us all from getting wet,
When the squall becomes a threat.

Rhythmic tapping, at the windowpanes,
Water gushing hastily, down the drains,
Tempest pounding as thunder roars,
Lashing out as it downward pours.

Boots and brollies are needed too,
To keep us dry, the whole storm through,
Then suddenly, as if the Lord was nigh,
Comes a clear blue, cloudless sky.

What Happen To The Sunshine?

Woke up this morning,
sunshine I wanted to see,
but all I saw was grey skies
as far as the eyes could see.

Another day of rain,
tumbling from the heavens above.
What happened to the sunshine,
the weatherman forecast for today?

It obviously forgot to come out,
and bless us with its warmth,
so we could all go out,
and into the garden to play.

Under the weather...

Under the weather
Down low
Beneath the ground
Water, mud, rain…

Soon I'll be gone
With the sand
In the wind

Sunny side up
Not so sunny
So I walk
Or is it mope?

I mope around
Away from the day
Escaping the sun's ray

Rainbow
Or is it a dark cloud?

Sleigh Ride/jingle Bells

(leroy anderson/mitchell parish)
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way...
In a one horse open sleigh
Just hear those sleigh bells jinglin
Ring-ting-tinglin, too
Come on, its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friend are calling yoo hoo!
Come on, its lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
Lets go
Lets look at the show
Were riding in a wonderland of snow

We can be honest without saying what we mean to say, we can talk about the weather while ignoring the rain.

Yesterday's Rain

Someboyd told you that my broken heart started mending
I'm getting by, but the truth is that I'm still standing
Knee deep in yesterday's rain
Well I ain't high and dry, I ain't got a big boat
But I got a new umbrella and an overcoat
And if the good Lord's willing and the sun breaks through
That'll be one more day that I made it without you
That I made it without you
I don't care what the future holds
And don't care about what you've been told
Don't want to hear what the weatherman has to say
'Cause I'm standing knee deep in yesterday's rain
All those fools go rushing, they don't hesitate
And the lonely go looking where the losers wait
And I'm thinking, somewhere in the middle there's a love that's true
But I ain't found one yet, and I ain't got you
No I ain't got you baby
I don't care what the future holds
And don't care about what you've been told
Don't want to hear what the weatherman has to say

Love is Not A Seasonal Crop

Love is not a seasonal crop
The weather we can’t control
Tend it well and well it’ll grow
The weather will and unknown how or why itself impose
Weather it with all your will, those it always wins
For of itself in time weather must be spent
Sometimes its only slight damage done
That we must amend
If it’s a total ravish, bend down and plant again
For earth and hearts are glad to give
An equal yield of what’s putted in

Stormy Weather!

Stormy weather is on the horizon,
Lots of moisture is sure to make
a fast water's level to be
a risin'!
Winds and lightening, soon followed by
thunder, Golf ball sized hail stones
falling down from up yonder!
Whirlwinds of twisters travel on by,
Rooftops and debris do so fly!
Take cover as soon as possible,
behind anything low or a solid like
obsticle! Flash flood's warning is
over the tv's air, Weatherman's warnings
are all on tv, showing they care!
When the all clear signal is finally
given, All the fast heavy breathin' is
slowed down and even!

You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life.

February 23

Light rain is falling in Central Park
but not on Upper Fifth Avenue or Central Park West
where sun and sky are yellow and blue
Winds are gusting on Washington Square
through the arches and on to LaGuardia Place
but calm is the corner of 8th Street and Second Avenue
which reminds me of something John Ashbery said
about his poem "Crazy Weather" he said
he was in favor of all kinds of weather
just so long as it's genuine weather
which is always unusually bad, unusually
good, or unusually indifferent,
since there isn't really any norm for weather
When he was a boy his mother met a friend
who said, "Isn't this funny weather?"

It was one of his earliest memories

One Girl, One Trouble

Whether the weather be cold
Whether the weather the bold
We'll weather the weather
No matter the weather

That was how I felt
Fastened with love—like a belt
Love close to my heart I held
Little wonder the geld

Always swayed by beauty
Lost to love, a duty
Now filled in the heart with guilt
Struck in the heart by a hilt

I'd sought something better
For once I thought I'd met her
For twice I felt I'd net her
For her worse I was no better

My Canadian Chronicles 27

The weatherman forecasted
threatening storms and rain
for the beginning of the week,
but all we’ve had is sunshine
and a brief shower last night,
but today looks like another fine day.

Sadly, as the days slip away
we will soon have to leave to go home.
We will go with bucketfuls of memories
to last for many years to come.
Like pop stars with their greatest hits,
we have our holidays characterised like that.

This one reached the top of the charts
as our best by far
with great company and weather.
Who could ask for anything more?
You couldn’t.
This has been the greatest holiday by far.

Stormy Weather

Dont know why theres no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather since my girl and I ended it together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bad gloomy misery everywhere
Stormy weather just cant seem to get my self together
Ill be here all the time
Oh yeah, since she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away a rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the lord will let me walk in the sun once more
Oh yeah, since she went away the blues walked in and met me
If she stays away a rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the lord will let me walk in the sun once more
Cant go on everything I had is gone
Stormy weather, since my gal and I ended it together
Keeps raining all the time, keeps raining all the time
Stormy weather, stormy weather, stormy weather
Keeps raining all the time

Weatherman

Halcyon weather smile
Brighter than the bursting sun
Rupturing the violent tempest
With the geometrical perfection
A wryly grin behold

You have mastered fine
The craft of marqueterie
Light wispy strokes,
Grave subtle lacerations,
And come around beautifully

You are a marionette
Inside a glass chiffonier
For the idiosyncratic spectators
Who pulled the strings
That made you a phony

In the impenetrability
Of such nonmalleable veneer

The Long Drought Is Over

The long drought is over some weather experts believe
But weather patterns the experts have been known to deceive
In parts of the Country huge flooding the weather seems strange
But then we are in the age of climate change
The ferocity of Nature cannot be denied
In flooding tragedies up country seven people have died
Their cars by the flood were swept off of the roadway
Their deaths by drowning the big news story of the day
For to combat extreme weather patterns we need more than God on our side
Nowadays Natural disasters are occuring Worldwide
In drought ravaged Lands millions of refugees
And thousands are dying of hunger and disease
The long drought is over some weather experts do say
But the moods of Nature changing every day.
