Record Temperatures

I watch the weather for the years of the record high and low and play a game with it.

 

 
During weather reports each day
there was a game I liked to play
with the record high and lows
and here is how the game goes.
 
If both of the records were sworn
in years before you were born
you get five points for your game
and write them down behind your name.
 
If one date is in your age span
you subtract one point if you can.
If neither date in your life fall
you don’t get any points at all.
 
At first this game was really fun.
My growing points were on a run.
But I’ve noticed as I get old
my point total was on a hold.
 
As records fall year after year
I’m getting older it is clear.
My lowering scores are big clues
that I win much less than I lose.

I laughed, on Groundhog day. The man reached in, pulled out the groundhog, and shoved it up 7 to 8 ft in the air. How can a mostly blind animal, see his shadow from up there? I say, "recount".

Maybe you should present this data to a Global Warming symposium. It sounds like sound observation to me.
