Placed 1st in Andrea Dietrich's July Etheree contest (July 2023)

************************************************

Turn the air on high. Wear shorts. Lose the shoes. Watch the weather news while praying for showers. Wilt like the plants and flowers. Mow that grass and chug that water. When you're too tired to walk, just totter. It's early July; it will get hotter.

Oh, Janice. We poets are rule breakers. I must have dozens of rhymed etheree poems since I"ve written at least 100 of them. I LOVE this one. Keep up the good work.
