It was Ninety - one today, <br /> but, I still feel lucky, <br /> It was One with Two Big Zeros, <br /> where my uncle is. <br /> <br /> Worse than that, <br /> the air was thick, <br /> I could have coated it with paint, <br /> - - - Are you sure that Willis Carrier, <br /> - - - is NOT a saint? <br /> <br /> We may be headed for a record breaking year, <br /> we are well past half - way there, <br /> Ninety - six in August, <br /> Ninety - Four in late September, <br /> Ninety - Two into October! <br /> <br /> The ' Great White North ', <br /> is very brown these days, <br /> Global warming does not work, <br /> because we only set a couple of new records. <br /> <br /> They put the blame on orbital anomalies, <br /> they put the blame on S.U.V.'s, <br /> I've heard them put the blame on the guy six doors away, <br /> El Nino and El Nina, <br /> - - - They equally make imperfect sense to me! <br /> <br /> Some years it's just hot, <br /> some years it's just not, <br /> some years we forgot that it was neither. <br /> <br /> Some years we get more snow, <br /> and some years, hardly any, <br /> most years in between, <br /> but, I have noticed , <br /> that as the need for news has grown, <br /> along with ' All News ' networks, <br /> ... the weather's getting yearly, <br /> ... more severe!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bad-weather-4/
