the weatherman's wife

she married a
weatherman, and at
first it seemed
like a good idea.
she always knew
in advance
what to wear
according to his
forecasts, but then
he began to drink,
and question his
abilities with
middle age,
and his predictions
floundered. when
he said rain, it
was sunny, when
he pointed to his
map at a cold
front, there would
be a heat wave.
and she fell out
of love with him,
because of this
and moved on to
the sportscaster,
who told her which
teams to bet on,
where to place her
money, on the horses,
the boxers in
the ring. he was
dependable and
strong, and now
she's happy, at
least for awhile.
