Astray

The weathermen led me astray;

I canceled my plans for today.

Expecting some rain

I thought I’d refrain

From an outing an hour away.

 

Instead, there is sun in the sky

So the question I have to ask’s why

When they make their report

They may come up so short

Or, much worse, they might out and out lie.

 

We are fools if we always believe

What we hear, for the “facts” may deceive

And when Nature’s involved

Truth is rarely resolved

For she always has tricks up her sleeve.
