Buzz Cut

Sirius is approaching the gate
dragging the hot and humid like bait.
	Scorching dog days are back.
	A violent attack!
I fear I will burn my shaven pate!

Hey Jim. Thanks! I'm halfway between Hades and the gates of East Texas. Not the hottest place I've lived but it comes close. LOL Triple digits and humid. The winters are fine! :)

Summer days are dreary with the temperature rising to unprecedented rate. A sunburn can happen anytime. Well written limerick, true and hilarious at the same time.
