A METEORDREAM (anon)

I had a dream the other night / It really was most frightening./
My isobars were all mised up / My cirrus glowed with lightning.//
My temperature was absolute / My sky condition clear,/
I climbed a pseudo-adiabat / Into the stratosphere.//
My hydroscopice nucleus / Was part of an occlusion,/
My anticyclone blew away / My latent heat of fusion.//
My presssure gradient centrifuged / And broke my min thermometer./
My water tank was upside down / Upon my anemometer.//
Then I awoke - a sudden gust / With light precipitation/
Obscured the dream that gave my brain / Synoptic saturation.
