Muggy

Feeling sluggy when it's muggy
Surely is the norm.
Nothing's gained when I feel drained
'Cause temps are way too warm.

In my lair I blast the air
And rarely venture out,
Wond'ring why, with temps so high,
I'd gallivant about.

There are those, I do suppose,
Who like this kind of hot.
Rest assured, that strikes no chord;
Among them I am not.

Hear, hear! My sentiments as well. Here in New England we are being drench in the humidity. I have asthma so stay indoors as does my dog who walks about with his tongue hanging from his mouth! I give him an ice cube every now and then to cool off and he loves it. Thanks for stopping by. Keep cool. / M

And here are we in Ireland, complaining,as usual, about rain in July. I love the way all your poems are so like lovely waves of rhymes.
