Ninety-Eight Point Six
Ninety-eight point six is normal
In a human being,
Not though, on thermometers
Outdoors, which we’ve been seeing.
In people, anything above
Is fever, meaning sick,
But weather-wise, such numbers
Translate into one word – ick!
I much prefer the days in fall
Or wintertime instead,
When if my body matched
The temps outside, I would be dead.
