The Feral Weatherman
April 22, 2017
As on the morning of the bash his position not assumed
But compromised by spew bursted across the news G spot:
BBC’s Weather Office took a sedentary view
Saved him, his job strung out on isobars, from houshold scrap
Another iteration of his competence forthwith
(Like other cover stories covered heretofore were played
Oafs and buffoons in uplighting to shine their best aspect
Whose pantomimes hereafter entertain our merry flock)
This weather guy made headlines too among the daily pap
His sentinel-like post he’d marred by premature concieving
His straight and narrow dusted, leaning over a glowing amp
A microphone yet eavesdropped was still broadcasting
Cusses and swearing from the fresh faced Anchor gaily flew
Tore through the radioed shipping lanes of ornamental chat
Bog standard normal till that time the currency on air
Burst in on and erupted were the cotton-candy vibes
Again here is this weather-wiseguy awkwardly exposed
All naked to pursuit of entertainment-dabbling crowds,
Whose time falls spooned out leisurely on heavy afternoons
Their wits shaken and stirred, and sheer bejazzled by fair bling
Gone everyday sedate surround urbanity.
Up woken? No, no, not at all! His blessed expletives threw
An amazing glittering fish to bauble-fascinated seals
Honk, honk! The ears rear clustering.
Two accidents, two hanging job offences
One once, and not long since, should have immersed him spitted whole
On squally wintry showers outside the local labour queue
P45, no references, taken a sorry hit.
Celerity has never been a software open source
Feature for minds on sofas strapped to gossip’s TV cart
(TV’s become the smarter in the couchant family)
No dock, no damage limitation on his acre needed
Indeed and on the contrary this Mr Weather face
By viral feed celebrity was impudently cried
And elevated, celebrated, and served a welcome slug
Of heady happenstance divine among the groves
Groves dully grooved, sad, samey, amid incident disaray
Borders, boundaries overgrowing, have run out all to seed
Tentacular wastelands wrangling up blott out all further view
The Standard public forms, decorums, turned to dust, interred
Eroded, decomposed, a splintered stump, stock still, stuck up
And single makes a protest, says: ‘Alas, I once was here’
Beneath it scratched in dirts a curtly scribbled answer sighs:
Sickness is near.
