The Perfect Compromise

I’m sitting’ in a patch of sun Or else I’d likely freeze Because, although it’s June, There is a really chilly breeze. I’m not complaining - heat and I Are different as can be. I’d rather suffer winter’s bite Than wipe the sweat off me. Today’s the perfect compromise, Combining warmth of sun With fall-like winds, such weather Bringing smiles to everyone.

So far New England has escaped the scorching heat of other parts of the country, though temperatures are cool for June. Loved the heat when younger, now in old age it's not so much. / Maurice

Give me warm over cool always! I can always take off clothes, but when it's very cold, I can't seem to find enough to put on to keep me warm.

I just can't wait for Autumn. I'm sick of the heat already, teeheehee. Lovely poem, Ilene:-)

If you can't stand the heat...get out of the solarium! Wish it were like that here, Ilene. Been in the mid 90's, with no "chilly breeze" or end in sight. And I fully agree with Rico re your word-mind-wrapping abilities.
