I wish I were the weather man V To say when it would snow And whether weather would be fair And when the winds would blow. To touch the button and produce A regular full blown storm, To have it chilly if.l chose Or change around to warm. I’d be the finest weather man^_ That ever raised a breeze Or caused the peaches In the sun To ripen on the trees. If friends were going to the woods To pas!» the time away, I’d take a note of it and have A made to order day. If there should be a pretty girl Who once had turned me down. Who passed me with a haughty air Or chilled me with a frown. I think I’d order up a shower Some sweet revenge to get When she walked out where I might see Her brand new hat get wet. In winter time I think I would Select my dearest foe Whose sidewalk ran around a block And make him shovel snow. If one who claimed to be a friend Could just make good his case, Td have the sunshine all the year On four sides of his place.
