Trying to deal with the heat wave...


Poem Artwork


Let's think of cold thoughts
to bring relief from the heat:
It isn't working!!

So what can I do
(besides whining about it)
to bring refreshment??


Stand in front of the
'fridge, naked, with beer in hand,
 perhaps that will do ...

Soak in cool water,
read a book by Sue Henry,
think of Alaska ...

Stay indoors; do NOT
go out for any reason
'til after midnight ...

Swimming could be fun
if the water isn't hot ...
NICE.  Ruined idea!

Soak in cold water ...
then lie in front of A.C.
vent, catch summer cold.  *AH-CHOO!!!!!!!!!!*

Eat LOTS of ice cream
and forget about diets:
you gotta stay cool!

Keep sense of humor.
This cannot last forever.
Unless it's Texas. 

LOL

(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

You are so funny. The weirdest experience of my TX trip earlier this summer was going to the pool - even early in the morning - and finding the water tepid at best, even a little hot. Hey, feel that cool breeze? I know it's on the way... Dawn

LOL at Ed! Any excuse! Or even, without one... Can remember this from Spain, Karla, standing bathed in the little yellow light of the frig in the dead of night, feasting on nothing more than it's coveted chill. Seems a distant memory to me now... so remember you are just one minute closer to this unyielding heat suddenly losing its intensity with the winds of change. This, too, shall pass... But I will gladly pay you for a few bottles, if you can capture and ship it; even my shadow looks a more healthy colour than I do now! Can't imagine you'll ever be parted from your sense of humour, Karla... come hell or high water... and I certainly hope it doesn't come to THAT! :)) LOL Kate xx
