Charlie has joined the crowd of folks talking about the hot weather. But you know what? As complaining goes, poetry is a pretty fancy way of doing it. My hubby’s a keeper!
“Don’t You Find This Summer Hot?”
Don’t you find this summer hot?
I don’t feel like doin’ squat!
Too hot for chores or barbequein’
None of that I feel like doin’
Getting’ up and goin’ fishin’?
Nope, a cool one’s what I’m wishin’
For, Presto! Right here in my hand
A beer to steer me to the stands
Of Fenway, wouldn’t that be grand?
To be up there with all the fans?
Shy of that, I’ll sit here sippin’
On my ice cold, Pabst Blue Ribbon
Fan a-blowin’ on my face
As Mookie steals for second base
A footrest for each weary foot
I’m good indoors and stayin’ put
To be honest. It was wicked hot and muggy this weekend. Add in a few hot flashes, and even my sunny dispostion was tested.
That’s it for now. Catch you on the flip side!
