Forecast

There will be weather tomorrow. It's virtually
guaranteed. Maybe sunny, a little bit rainy, chance
-- oh, chance --
of showers, clouds, snow, hail. Golden chance
of sunshine in the sunshine capital of Canada: grab your bingo
dabber, mark the highs and lows. Shake off
your blues, your rubber boots, your yellow umbrellas. Precipitous
precipitation on the precipice of perspicacity. Weather vanes
will point in the same direction as the wind (there is always
wind, nothing here to slow it down as it passes through town)
and we will talk:
unfairly about the weather,
whether the weather is fair
or not.

Favorite lines: the first two. The four lines beginning "Golden chance..." And "weather vanes/ will point in the same direction as the wind."

I detect some frustration with the fickle weather...
