Melted Greeting Card

Minuscule marshmallows in weak cocoa 
there is no taste in the heat of the South;
It should always burn the top of the mouth 
and be soothed inhaling a ball of snow;

Those worn out carolers will need a jolt 
so the hot air doesn’t cause them to faint;
Narcoleptic has become a poor trait,
out of tune voices outside the deadbolt;

Pushing against heat exhaustion is hard;
Asleep on your feet is not a new kink,
always they’re begrudging any such drink;
Left sweating like a melted greeting card.
