One Hundred and Two

there is a heat advisory in Kansas for me and you It is July twenty six, and it is supposed to get to a hundred and two A hundred and two a hundred and two would that melt an egg? a lamp or a shoe? A hundred and two, I sing along with glee, no longer blue a hundred and two, it incites and delights me, does it delight you? I cannot quit singing a hundred and two. I consult my echo dot, loving the idea of melting as goo. What is the temp? I ask, hoping to hear a hundred and two It says ninety-eight which is a letdown for both me and you. I wanted it to be a hundred and two I will hold out for that number, that is what I will do. A hundred and two, a hundred and two. Crazy weather in Kansas, and other places too. A hundred and two, I hear a cow’s moo A hundred and two I sing. A hundred and two!
