Mr. Weatherman, please tell us plainly <br />Will it be cloudy, sunny or rainy <br />There are so many things we don’t need to know <br />Just tell us please if you know it will snow <br /> <br />Barometer settings don’t help us a bit <br />So atmospherically, please try to cool it <br />We don’t need to speculate on typhoons in China <br />Or other weatherly facts in Asia or minor <br /> <br />Don’t show us weather maps of places way out <br />Since our main concern is the weather hereabout <br />Don’t need to hear about the lows and the highs <br />Or what minute in the morn the sun will arise <br /> <br />Please don’t involve us with all the specifics <br />Of the tides and the waves in the ocean Pacific <br />It’s show biz to you, but please tell us plainly <br />Will today be cloudy, sunny or rainy<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mr-weatherman-please-tell-us-plainly/
