Long Range Forecast


Gather round and lend an ear

While I explain the reason

Everything you’ve seen so far

Hasmerely been pre-season

 

If you believed campaigning

Has been rough through certain patches

From here until November

Better batten down the hatches

 

The ocean level’s rising

And the water table’s warming

So something prime and powerful

Is clearly out there forming

 

The man and the machinery

Are just about converging

Telling me tomorrow that

A wave will soon be surging

 

Despite the demographics

That the pollsters are pursuing

Over the horizon, folks

A hurricane is brewing

 

A righteous revolution

That no force on earth can damper

The Republican Convention

Is about to start in Tampa

 

I’ve never been too clever

Either fiscally or stock wise

But I know the tide is turning

And it’s moving counter-clockwise

 

Well, I may be too hopeful

Or I just may be mistaken

But I see a few surprises

When the final vote is taken

 

For in every five-day forecast

Slings and arrows are the norm

Whatever comes this weekend’s

Just the calm before the storm.
