Tuesday looks warm, with no warning of storms
But last week’s alarm saw a need to inform
We checked in with the weather forecaster to advise us:
He’s surprised that some wise ass has named it Isaias
A name so abstrusely obtuse to be riotous
And what’s worse is, of course this:
Nearly no one can say it.
He says, “Isaias is, as I assay, as serious as I ever see
Seesawing cirrus arrays in a series
Soaring the sinuous cumulus as it rises
On air o’er various areas of high seas
Sources say these breezes are nothing to sneeze at
It is vicious when it hits us, as it did once (just between us)
Downpours cause crises and surf crashes causeways
He sighs as he says, “It’s as easy as always
To advise us what its size is with reliance on science
Chasing after disaster with satellite guidance"
He stresses statistics are the essence of his business
Persistent resistance to tedious deviance
Arises when the wisest of these theories and theses
Is as tested as the rest is,
Lest we’re infested with the messiest excesses
of the expedient ingredients:
Mischievous disobedience, grievous malfeasance,...
I digress, I’ll confess
It’s best I arrest this
Lest I get so obsessed with
More rhyming than reason
Since the hurricane flees on
Get your shorts and your tees on
(Don’t put waders or skis on)
Bring a riding companion
To Fennway's Happy Canyon
And do your part to restart
The TNR season
Tuesday Night Ride meets at 5:45 at 460 Jewett Rd., thanks to Bob Cerra for providing parking. All are welcome to come ride the trails of Fennway and Good Living Dunne Wright.
