Block verse
Newspaper columnists used to write short verses about current events. Now that "poetry" is the exclusive province of bizarre avant garde civilization smashers, these little cheerful verses are obsolete...
But not in the Weather Bureau. Their anonymous writers (who sometimes use the wonderful name Rex Block) have given us an
old-fashioned verse about today's fog:
With H2O vapor condensation
To 100% saturation
Darn sustained dense fog
Makes commutes a slog
Deserving full throated condemnation.
It's not quite Robert Frost, but it's good stuff.
