There's a Heat Wave In Town

Flowers wilt, there is no breeze Leaves droop, they're not pleased Grass turns a sickly brown There's a heat wave in town Faces are taut Greetings, coerced Skin's pasty white Every movement, coerced Dogs pant on the pavement Tongues hanging out Your arthritis is worse And so is your gout Feel like ending it all? ~ Here comes a cold front A Taste of Fall!

Well, take heart from Chicago. It was 97 with very high humidity at this time yesterday. It's under 70 today with no humidity. Feels cool, autumnal. Hope yours comes soon. Poetry will follow. :) gw
