Hot Work

I put my hand to the sun
To block out the rays as the heat had sorely won
A slight breeze cooled my face
A drink I thought would not be out of place

As the sun beat on my shoulders and neck
This work was the hottest yet
But I stuck at it for a period had to defend 
My part of the labour now at an end.
