Weather



Eruditely ‘arthritic fingers’ are telling me its cold 
today: don’t believe th’ Weatherzone web claim 
of 8º with 94% humidity spiel - go and see your 
thermometer they say; it is a trial before th’ sun 
dissipates surrounding morning mist - out there 
truth’s a 5º atmosphere: no need ask me where 
I’d rather be, & bed agrees mutely - no contest! 
it’s here we’ll wait greyness’ fade off The Creek 

But with cuppa tea, two jerseys - & four pillows
one balancing pc - we create an ambience only 
the fingers disagree with: you can’t wear gloves 
when writing on y’ MacBook Air. So begins this 
day, with 20º of max temp supposedly relieving 
digitally arthritic predispositions to disbelieve
