Hottest Day of the Year

Today's been so hot, skin's gone red
slept naked on top of the bed,
angry girl at the store
said “don't come back no more”
next time I'll cool off at home instead !

Thank you for my laugh and also a memory your poem brought to me: My Dad used to say, "It was so nice out, I thought I'd leave it out all day." I truly love this wee write and it's humorous punch! CayCay

I'm sure you're right, it's no big deal (I could do this all day. For 3 years, I worked as a construction site secretary (I was the token female) where I heard IT ALL.)

Thanks, CayCay, I'm pretty sue if I'd been arrested it would have been for a small offence :( Viv x

We never get that happy medium weather wise. We always get that happy medium from your wonderfully uplifting poetry Viv. Thank you from my feel good hormones.

Jean, as my Gran in Crumlin used to say, " sure, it would be a lovely place if it had a roof on". Viv x

Thanks Jan, why she'd get upset at what looks like a cashew nut on a brillo pad is beyond me... Viv x

Haha...very witty, Viv! Great twist at the end:) It's hot over here, but luckily we are not far from the sea...been swimming today. Regards // paul

Jealous? Living in the only place in England furthest from the sea? Moi? Keep cool, Paul. Regards, Viv

Ha ha . I needed a laugh after that last poem I wrote. Sometimes a clown hides tears of pain. A way of coping.

July 19, 2016 at 9:07 PM

In my case, sometimes I just clown. Buffoonery- as an effective weapon as custard pies :). Thanks for dropping by, Holly. Viv x

lol...love it Viv

Thanks, Tim, hotter than Miami and Jamaica here, apparently. We Brits are useless at everyday living in any temperature that melts butter. Regards, Viv
