Rap it out like you mean it now...

It's not the heat
  It's the humidity
that makes me sweat
  and want to scree 
m-at any fool who
  approaches me

It clings to my shirt
  and my underpants
Colossal red fire ants 
  (Pause)
  inciting me to 
rap and rant
  in polysyllabic
barnyard chants

I let cuss words go
  in falsetto
all the way
  to Kokomo --
Indiana, they do flow
  then stream on to Mexico
How did you know...

    (Grand Finale)

Ratchet up the fire
  just one notch higher
I'll breathe my last
  in the town of Dyer --
Indiana...

I have never rapped before. I think I did it right. The humidity so well understood. Good one.
