I was inspired to write this poem after sitting outside in the hotter-than-hell heat yesterday. I’m sure you will relate.
Ode to Texas Heat
I feel the warm sun,
Upon my sweaty face,
My makeup is sure to run,
In this overheated place.
I’m proud to be a Texan,
But in the summer time,
Even though I have a tan,
This heat should be a crime.
Impossible to cool off,
No matter what you do,
Many people will scoff,
If you take your clothes off too.
You have probably hear this phrase,
“It’s hotter than hell!”
It’s true for all summer days,
As far as I can tell.
Happy Summer! Enjoy sweating your ass off!
