There's a Heat Wave In Town
Flowers wilt, there is no breeze
Leaves droop, they're not pleased
Grass turns a sickly brown
There's a heat wave in town
Faces are taut
Greetings, coerced
Skin's pasty white
Every movement, coerced
Dogs pant on the pavement
Tongues hanging out
Your arthritis is worse
And so is your gout
Feel like ending it all?
~ Here comes a cold front
A Taste of Fall!
