 Humdinger Heat

Ho hum!

This heat today is a humdinger,

Courting lethargy,

Unabashed!

Hummingbirds are hidden away

Where, i know not

But certainly not here

For the heat is a scorcher

Humbling to the brightest spirit

Bah humbug!

What a hot day

In this heatwave sequence

    Gillena, our heat here has finally broken a bit, after some September temps over 110. But for awhile there, we were "Courting lethargy," indeed. SO well put.

    Fun poem, and such a great comic! We're cooler, just the low 80s.
