It's Not Exactly "June/Moon"


       Driving to broadcast in early morning today, sunless skies call to mind the ”June Gloom” we’re all aware of in Southern California before the sun breaks through around noon to warm us.

       I realize the weather’s less of a downer because we all have those words, June Gloom, to identify the condition.  As long as we have a name for it, it has less of a hold on us--rather, we’ve got a hold on it!

       And if it rhymes to boot--near rhyme anyway--we can almost make a song about it:

                 June Gloom, don’t try to rain on my day
                 You know the sun’s on its way
                 We’ve got your number, Hooray!

    excellent poem. growing up in the valley, and part-time in ventura & port hueneme, june brought many dismal emotions. as a sun seeker, june dumped her lousy weather right smack dab on my summer days. how can one even tan appropriately when june is in her gloom?
