Milwaukee in the Heat
Visiting Milwaukee
And the sun is blazing hot.
Our tolerance, as we get old,
Is something we ain’t got.
So yesterday, the river walk
Enticed us and we went,
The temperature’s effects not really
All that evident…
Until, with nighttime tickets
To a huge James Taylor show,
The heat affected us so much,
We almost didn’t go.
We made it, though we didn’t stay
Until the ending part,
Since other bands played first and James,
Much later, got to start.
Still, it was great to see him
And to hear how good he sounds.
Today, though, being in the heat
Was strictly out of bounds.
Instead, the Art Museum was
The destination where
We spent four delightful hours
And I froze my tush off there!
