Try
as I may and try as I might
I've
never been able to understand
(Being,
as I am, a lubber of land)
Those
opaque predictions of oceans at night.
I
don't know my Dogger or Tyne from my Wight,
My
Faeroes from Forties, my Forth from Iceland.
And
this backing and veering is quite out of hand!
Can
anyone here offer me an insight?
The
predictions themselves are so vague and obscure
That
to follow the forecast just seems a bit risky.
It
can't be both good and occasionally poor!
How
long is rain 'for a time' in Fisher and Biscay?
I
don't think they'd be more precise if they could,
Make
up your minds! Is it moderate or good?

Excellent! Though - for me,the forecast is an ongoing poem in itself,love listening to it -
