adjust as temperatures
chill my poor old bones...

our house is on freeze
a hundred degrees outside
I need a blanket 
I got outside to warm up
Fall asleep in the sun
with the cat...

Some days are diamonds, no... let me rephase that
ALL days are diamonds, depends where you're at
Attitude, attitude
It's all about mood
The choice is yours, raise your personal thermostat...

Always there, something that I dread;
Tired of emotional bloodshed;
Tightens and unravels the thread
inside my head, inside my head;

Keeping a serene habitat,
grabbing a close friend for a chat 
quick to lower your thermostat;
Imagine that, imagine that....

the heat builds inside me 
sweat popping from my forehead
stinging my eyes 

there's no relief from the surges
taking away my sanity
my inner thermostat broken

so i sit here fanning like crazy
while others stare on
with their calm and refresh demeanor

there is no relief from the heat resurgent
making the dull pain in my head ache...

What does Grass do
  When winter comes to town
Does it shiver its timbers
  Does it freeze underground

Why no! Grass is first-class
  How else could it last
Through snowfalls so deep
  No sunlight dare seep...

Grass dons fancy jacket and hat
  Wad of bills and all that
Bows to winter's autocrat ~
  Who adjusts the thermostat...

Hurt Heart which Was Torn Apart

when I hurt my heart
no longer love from the start
will brake and tear apart

current heart has to do
go ahead and drink a few
trouble about to brew

adjust my thermostat
what we knew right off the bat
will buy cat named Pat

when dumber than doormat
had my hat hangingg from thermostat
while being a big brat...

fall enters gaily
with a shower of bright leaves 
pushing summer out

I truly think that  it's a bummer
There only is three months of summer.

I sadly wave her on her way,
Summer whose stay is too soon gone.

Our summer, this year, was a winner.
We picnicked, vacationed and played.
The thermostat peaked before dinner
as we drank lemonade in the shade
and watched glorious sunsets fade

Temperatures have plummeted for November,
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting
Snow is expected, normally, not until December,
Temperatures have plummeted for November
My fireplace is a-glow with hot ash and ember
I suspect sleet and snow we’ll soon be getting
Temperatures have plummeted for November
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting.

secluded high rise
picnic with a view
rare day off for both of us
enjoying each others company because of each other
no conversation
your head on my shoulder
air conditioner at a respectable level
no thermostat drama tonight
a kem cd playing
imagination standstill
the back seat is full 
our minds are completely empty
tomorrow we explore
tonight we just enjoy this moment of stillness
secluded high rise
dancing slowly now to the rhythm of our heartbeats...

Dead leaves lay upon my lawn
Barren trees from Autumns dawn
I look outside at what went on
Another Summer come and gone

Gloomy skies of cloudy gray
Aching bones from falling rain
Discontent with seasons change
I think I'll stay inside today

Turn the thermostat on high
Ok, maybe sixty five
Just enough to stay alive
And somehow, maybe, just survive

Water drips from houses eaves
Inundating fallen leaves
Has me longing for reprieve
From up and coming Winter siege
