Today’s Climate Forecast

Some poems

And onto today’s climate forecast, 
where we can expect to see a prolonged spell of inaction,
interspersed with patches of hazy promises
across many areas. 

Over Westminster and other centres of government,
a build-up of hot air will cause inactivity to soar
to record levels over the coming days,
in spite of the high pressure.

Elsewhere, a front of chronic misinformation 
will sweep in from the east,   
bringing with it a thick band of climate change deniers
and the chance of scattered falsehoods,

while powerful gusts of idiocy and ignorance
look set to blow across social media.
Outbreaks of ‘We just got on with it in 1976
and ‘It’s called the British summer, mate’ are likely.

In summary: unsettling.

    Raining in my app

    Apologies to Huddy Brolly

    I should go out

    To buy some bread

    But there’s a problem

    In my head

    Cos it’s raining

    Raining in my app

    My window says

    The weather’s fine

    There’s washing hanging

    On next door’s line

    But it’s raining

    Raining in my app

    Oh mystery, mystery

    How can I trust what I see

    I tell myself

    I won’t get wet

    The sun is shining

    It’s safe and yet

    It’s raining

    Raining in my app

    I M Spardagus
