A Muggy Day in Assam
The air is heavy—
like a warm, wet blanket wrapped around everything.
The sun?
Hiding behind a cloud,
like it doesn’t want to deal with the day.
The Brahmaputra flows—
slow, wide, calm.
It mirrors the dull sky,
grey and tired like it skipped breakfast.
The trees don’t move.
Not even a whisper of wind.
Just leaves, soaked with sweat,

Zweitey Man Flying His Kite In the Muggy Skies-
There was a man from Zweite
Who liked to fly his kite

'Oh, how I miss the flight!'
There was a man named White
Who used to fly his kite
But during a break
He made a mistake
What a terrible day for White

Not yet have I played rugby
Or sipped a double cup that

Muggy
Feeling sluggy when it's muggy
Surely is the norm.
Nothing's gained when I feel drained
'Cause temps are way too warm.
In my lair I blast the air
And rarely venture out,
Wond'ring why, with temps so high,
I'd gallivant about.
There are those, I do suppose,
Who like this kind of hot.
Rest assured, that strikes no chord;
Among them I am not.
