THE WEATHER GIRL

   THE WEATHER GIRL            TIM WILLIAMS           AUGUST 2015

AND THERE SHE WAS THE WEATHER GIRL
TO TELL US HOW TOMORROWS WEATHER WOULD UNFURL,
SHE SAID IT WOULD BE..... BLUSTERY,
BECAUSE THE WINDS WERE HIGH APPARENTLY,
SHE STARTED TO EXPLAIN TO US MERE FOLK
THAT TOMORROWS WEATHER WAS NO JOKE,
THAT CLOUDS AND WINDS WOULD BE ..... BLUSTERY,
IT'S THE ONLY WORD SHE KNOWS YOU SEE.

EVERY SENTANCE ENDS THE SAME
SHE CANT THINK OF ANOTHER NAME,
TO USE INSTEAD OF ..... BLUSTERY,
NOW WE'RE SIX SENTENCES IN TO HER SHORT REPORT
THE WORD...... BLUSTERY... IN EACH RETORT,
IT'S TURNING INTO A WORD GAME SPORT
FOR ME UPON MY COUCH.

SO I THINK I'LL SEND A BOOK TO HER
SO SHE CAN FIND SOME DIFFERENT WORDS,
LIKE STORMY,WINDY, BLOWY OR GUSTY TOO
WITH A NOTE THAT SAY'S " WOULD ROGET'S THESAURUS BE OF USE TO YOU ",
AND MARK THE PAGES REGARDING SYNONYMS,
OR OTHER WORDS FOR BLUSTERY WINDS
AND HOPE SHE TAKES THE HINT
THE STUPID BLOODY BINT
