WEATHER ADVISORY
Boy oh boy! it sure is hot
at least as hot as devil's snot
97 in the shade
who knows how hot in sunny glade
So hot when sun tan oils applied
a person could be"southern fried"
a head without a hat soon learns
all to be known about sun burns
To cool off I built a fire
and it worked,I'm not a liar
I caught a sniff of sulfur here
as if hell was much too near
When I go outside, instant sweat
in 10 minutes I'm soaking wet
if I stand in one place,bud
the ground beneath turns into mud
Jumped in the lake to cool my form
didn't work, waters too warm
concrete walk so hot it felt
as if it was about to melt
So hot a dog and rabbit race
both panting and standing in place
put matches in 'fridge overnight
to cool them down enough to light
Frying eggs on the side walk?
just a lot of empty talk
tried it today and what was learned?
went straight from raw to being burned
I guess this poems gone on too long
but then again I could be wrong
the rhyme and rhythms nearly shot
Oh! did I mention that its hot?
at least as hot as devil's snot
97 in the shade
who knows how hot in sunny glade
So hot when sun tan oils applied
a person could be"southern fried"
a head without a hat soon learns
all to be known about sun burns
To cool off I built a fire
and it worked,I'm not a liar
I caught a sniff of sulfur here
as if hell was much too near
When I go outside, instant sweat
in 10 minutes I'm soaking wet
if I stand in one place,bud
the ground beneath turns into mud
Jumped in the lake to cool my form
didn't work, waters too warm
concrete walk so hot it felt
as if it was about to melt
So hot a dog and rabbit race
both panting and standing in place
put matches in 'fridge overnight
to cool them down enough to light
Frying eggs on the side walk?
just a lot of empty talk
tried it today and what was learned?
went straight from raw to being burned
I guess this poems gone on too long
but then again I could be wrong
the rhyme and rhythms nearly shot
Oh! did I mention that its hot?
