The Weather Forecast

There will be thick fog over the allusive mountains
Mounts Sinai, Olympus and Gilgamesh will only be visible
From the upper peaks of the Academes,
The Classic range, in particular providing some
Illuminating glimpses above cloud level.

There is a significant depression over New Work
Lowering verse clouds bringing
Frequent showers of shattered syntax
With distressed syllables drifting into
Incomprehensibility by late evening.

Though it will be calm over the Doggerel bank
The Limerick hills will be subject
To the usual gales of laughter
With smut forming on low ground.
