A Heat Wave Hits the North

Heat Wave Hits the North By Elton Camp Heat makes the Yankees scream and shout But they don’t know what weather’s about For those people, who in the South reside It can be unpleasantly hot and humid outside But that’s the reason air conditioning is made It’s not enough to sip mint julep in the shade But in winter when Yankees slip and slide Our weather is often still pleasant outside So a northern heat wave makes me sneer Just wait—they have even worse to fear Living in the North is a terrible plight On balance, our weather is a delight So, before a fan you Yankees must sit Wait to see how hot it’s gonna get

It's plenty hot here in Alabama, but we've had worse. Much of the country, however, is having unusual heat, especially in the North. The weather has been rather strange for a year or so. Elton

This amuses me because I live in Florida and am always annoyed by people up north complaining about their "heat waves". haha They don't know heat, but then we don't know cold so I guess it's a fair trade.

We have relatives living in Rochester, NY who are freaking about a heat wave. Elton
