Too Hot To Handle

 Lounging on the beach supine
    With Rayban sunglasses on.
    At last, summertime is here; 
             A hot one at that!

 The heat could roast a chicken;
        A sun too hot to handle!
           I am a corn on a cob; 
           My kernels popping!

Hey, friend, aren't you feeling this?
    You're a corn on the cob, too.
      I don't see you popping off!
           What's going on here?
