Heated Discussions and Disappointment

Ozarks are brutally hot Heated discussions and disappointment. August is a potential fireball Backs are sticking to leather car seats. Animals escaping from the west arrive daily Grass is dried brown, our earth parched Cultivation of garden is a pipe dream This summer is the hottest in a decade There is a bleakness in these hills Tomatoes shrivel up on their vines. A storm of sorts is taking place Temperatures are rising, people are angry It is not the right kind of storm No hope of water, dew is scarce. Heated discussions and disappointment.
