Preparing

The city is preparing 
For the overwhelming heat
Which, combined with the humidity,
Will knock us off our feet.

There are warnings on the news
About the water we should drink
And the steps that we should take
If somehow power’s on the blink.

It’s predicted that tomorrow
Is when Nature will deliver,
But for now there is some shade
And a breeze down by the river.

The heat predicted for us here in Rgode Island fizzled out with a beautiful cool ocean breeze! Of course, ther's still July and August to suffer through. / Maurice
