My brother married A vivacious woman She positively glowed as effusive compliments echo by my brother
She beguiled him With her charms. She was a cynosure Of all eyes As she walked Into the room
As time passed Their love Became volatile
My brother and I Devised Our own language Though the use of Weather Terms;
It’s a sunny day meant A good time to visit
Cloudy weather Changing Rapidly meant She’s about to blow. Not advisable to stop by
The weather terms I worried about most;
Thunderstorms, Eminent Danger
Lighting Strikes likely Twice
I only heard this report once;
A Cyclone Twister Appeared out of nowhere Run for the hills Nowhere to hide No one is safe Probable Casualties
My reply; Yep I’ll skip the visit To my Brother’s today
Brother’s reply; Yes a good judgment call Little Sister
My reply ; Thanks for the heads up, Bro
I’m a Smooth Sailing Breeze Perhaps I’ll Catch you On the way back. Depending on where The Weather Blows
Brother’s s reply
“Bury me at Sea
I fear RIP” 🪦

Footnotes Regardless of this turbulence This couple has been together for 45 years a lot of weather under the bridge. I think that’s what they mean by weathering the storm. If marriage was easy, everybody would be married. I think we’re just the kind of people who don’t quit. you take the good with the bad regardless of the situation you keep going and there’s always tomorrow. There’s no such thing divorce. If you think about it, if you know you’re gonna be together tomorrow, it kind of takes the sting out of those hurtful comments. more than 50% of all marriages end in divorce.
