I said all along that it wouldn't amount to much...


Poem Artwork


The big bad blizzard,
So far here has been a bust,
The governor declared a state of emergency,
For as little as we’ve gotten is no more than that of dust,
It blew through here quick without so much as a wind gust…

The forecasters made such a big deal,
Then out from under their predictions the rug was pulled,
Mom Nature did show us that she was capable of out thinking,
The weather computer modules which are now burning up and stinking…

They predicted blowing snow with snow drifts high,
12-18 inches of the white stuff making the weather people sigh,
They looked forward to it all with bated breath,
Everyone got scared & went out to buy out the stores,
They were all worried that with this storm they were going to be facing death…

Better safe than sorry,
but the hews people,
always seem to exaggerate the story.
Sometimes they get it right,
but more often they're wrong.
Send those reporters out on the streets,
and let them sing a sad song.

Weather people are noted for exaggeration and miscalculation. I do believe they got some real storm up Nantucket and Boston way, but this feather duster did not shut down NYC, the mayor did.

The best missed weather I ever heard was, "Spent the whole morning shoveling 6 inches of partly cloudy off my driveway.

Yep, they did it again. Put all the independent adjustors on standby, even here in Texas, to go NE. They freaking love melodrama.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
