Summary: I'm no summery celebutante

This summer heat, I say, just isn't my bag
The blistering weather appeals not to me
But hot, sweaty days always seem so long to drag
Fugacious I wish the summer could always be

The sun is too bright, and it doesn't like me
I'm no summery celebutante
There's not enough shade underneath every tree
If outside I have the misfortune to jaunt

Oh, give me back the cold winter weather I want
And let that sweet chilliness forever last
Or at least give a swimming pool for me to haunt
I simply cannot bear each hot and ugly blast

I had to chuckle at this as it really hit home! We're getting to that part of the summer where it's not only hot but humid, and I have trouble breathing under those conditions. Not liking it at all and praying it stays away from triple digits.

Ughgh, am I ever sorry. I've heard how rough Southern summers can be! Triple digits and humidity...blech! Out here, we're heading into wildfire season; there was one just last night, about twenty miles from here, due to some idiots getting careless with firecrackers.

And thanks; I'm glad you enjoyed it, or at least found it relatable!😂

Wildfires are no fun when there's smoke in the air—they're scary, too! Hopefully, there won't be too many in your area this year.
