Cool, Man

A cool drink on a hot day
Is not right in a cheap glass … 
You need to hear the ice chime.

A cool heart in a hot man
Is not right for a warm lass … 
You need to give me more time.

A practiced smile on a handsome face
Makes me feel like a looking-glass … 
A warm glance from a plain man is just fine!
