Weather Forecast Poem by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Said the TV's weatherman,
a bright bloke on grey suit,
and with weeping eyeglasses,
'There's probability of precipitation.
It's going to rain from coast to coast.
Umbrellas, raincoats and rain boots
Are cheaper in Ebay.
Order from Amazon, galoshes and
calabashes...
It shall rain from Jerusalem to Jericho.
And no one shall be spared from the
sprinkles — be they Republicans
or Democrats.
Blonde or raven-haired.

So plan your wedding when a spell of
sunshine borrowed from Africa
falls on one and all, like the bright light
on the road to Tarsus.

Pray against a jealous tornado
which plans to disrupt graduation ceremonies
across wayward universities.

If you cannot pray, tweet.
Heaven also hearkens to tweets.
If you doubt it,
ask the birds
whom the Lord feeds'.
