my brain does a switcheroo with prevaricate 

I prognosticate that, for me, prevaricate will prevail :( :lol:

There was an old hermit named Dave

Who would watch CNN prognosticate in his cave

Rather than deal with the aggravation 

Of their constant ego masterbation

He unplugged the idiot box and his sanity he saved.

The weather people on TV prefer to procrastinate and prevaricate than prognosticate.
