Too warm

sorenbarrett

So hot... lizards carry sticks to climb, to not burn their feet
Rain turns to steam, before the ground it does meet
Even the telephone poles wilt in the heat
And the sun itself, in shade finds a seat

Here one bathes in molten steel 
So just a bit of coolness to feel
The devil in hell made a deal
Air condition hell to escape the ordeal

    Some of those overhead cooler things give out an icy blast, even in Summer. Then it's colder indoors than outdoors. Doh! It's a draught that's more unpleasant than actually being outdoors on a chilly windy day.

      Yes be careful not to catch a draft my mother used to say. Thanks for the read Orchi been warm here lately.

      Yes, only the best for the devil 🤣 oh how I know this feeling, it can be truly unbearable the summer heat here in Italy, I cannot have air-conditioning because I'm an asthma sufferer and allergic to dust, hey maybe that old devil bought my soul lol wonderful rhyme and I could feel the heat, Dante is down there having a party I believe 🌹
