One Hundred Four
According to my phone, it feels
Like it’s one hundred four.
The heat attacks the minute
That you walk outside the door.
In places where they’ve never
Had to use a/c at all,
There simply aren’t units left
To heed each desperate call.
I have a little country house
Where fans once did the trick,
But in this heat we packed and left,
Back to the city, quick.
So now in my apartment
I am stuck, but I’m no fool –
I’ve traded in the great outdoors
For someplace nice and cool.
