Gimme a Break


Dang it’s hotter than blazes out there,
Sure would be nice to find a little cool air,

Don’t know about this world wide warming up stuff,
At this time of year it’s always been tough,

Thank God for the big trees and all of that shade,
Just can’t believe what a difference it’s made,

Guess I’m sitting pretty , here I’m gonna stay,
And I’ll fight off anyone to keep it that way,

Life has been wonderful, except here, of late
That ol’wife is forgetful, boy she used to be great,

Mixed the best drinks from about anywhere ,
And I can’t complain , I’ve had more than my share,

But damn wouldn’t you know it, it’s been a whole week’
I’m chasing my butt off while she sits and sleeps,

I’m plumb outta juice , and in case you ain’t heard,
That really makes it tough for a male Humming Bird

I wish our temperate zone were a cool but sunshiney type of all year 'round type of climate. Alas!!

Love ya!

Got me when the last line again! Had me thinking about those electricians who spent all of Friday digging a trench 2 feet deep between my panel and the underground feed for the neighborhood 15 feet away. Then they had to lay the wire and install the panel, all in the hot sun at around 96°. They cost a lot but sweated buckets doing it.

Hummingbirds have their own little fans that keep them quite cool, I believe.

I can feel the heat from the expressive words in this poetic piece. It's been too hot these days and "life happens" of the best of us!
