It's Hot...a poetic reflection on April & May in the PI



It's Hot  

It's hot! 
I can't get cool, 
I've drunk a quart of lemonade. 
I think I'll take my shoes off 
And sit around in the shade.

It's hot! 
My back is sticky, 
The sweat rolls down my chin.
I think I'll take my clothes off 
and sit around in my skin. 

It's hot!
I've tried with 'lectric fans 
And pools and ice cream cones. 
I think I'll take my skin off 
And sit around in my bones. 
It's still hot!
