There is one thing we can’t avoid <br />And that, my friend, is weather <br />It is usually unpredictable <br />As the clouds began to gather <br /> <br />Or perhaps a puff of wind picks up <br />And those clouds will blow away <br />In summer the sun is warm and nice <br />And we hope that it will stay <br /> <br />But in the winter it’s so different <br />The clouds help us stay warm <br />They hover above protectively <br />Or is there a chance of a storm? <br /> <br />It is really very complicated <br />That’s why we have those who know <br />What it all means when suddenly <br />The winds begin to blow <br /> <br />Rain pours down and it floods <br />The wind brings a tornado <br />Hurricane’s can be devastating <br />So troubling, don’t you think so? <br /> <br />And the snow, oh let me tell you <br />It can cripple a city over night <br />It stops everything in its tracks <br />Blanketing what ever is in sight <br /> <br />The experts spend lots of time <br />With fancy equipment and such <br />But since we can’t change a thing <br />I don’t worry about it too much!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/weather-16/
