Weather Prophet mocked as fake in old verse
A satirical poem mocks Giz Willig O'Moore the weather forecaster, blaming faulty predictions for storms and floods. It calls his forecasts sham, notes public ridicule, and urges him to retire. The verse parodies his confidence, laments misjudged days of rain, thunder, and snow, and praises seasoned forecasters.
