Heat

My brows perspire,

I am overcome by the heat,

My body is a fountain of sweat 

I endure the hell of travelling on the Underground without access to any seat.

Tossing and turning in my bed at night,

My mind is working overtime with fantasies and summertime dreams,

Heat turns me into an insomniac,

I am envisaging hot days away in Brighton, riding the carousel, eating 99 flake ice creams.

My hair is unkempt and frizzy,

The heat has transformed it into an uncontrollable mess,

Summer sunshine and heat has its advantages,

My sunny wardrobe gets an airing along with my favourite floral dtess.
