If You Find Shade
You've got it made if you find shade
When it is hot and sunny,
For boiling rays can spoil your days
In ways that aren't funny.
Aside from sweat, you might just get
A dose of melanoma
Or lethargy, to some degree
Resembling a coma.
Yet with some luck, you won't be stuck
And you can find a bower
To keep you cool, or, like a fool,
Burn up within the hour.
