Beating the Heat

In the Pool

Louisa Burgess
It's hot and hazy
And I'm feeling lazy

Don't ask me to do or to meet
It's time for me to beat the heat

Head myself to the pool
Is my number one rule

Don't try to coax me out
If you do I will probably pout

There is nothing quite like it
All I do is sit and be quiet

I can splash if I'm hot
Or have some fun with a tot

The drinks are ready for sippin
Let the kids go slidin and slippin

I'll just sit here drinkin
A cool drink and do some thinkin

It's hot and it's hazy and
I'm feeling good and lazy

    Great job here. Thank you for this. Our AC is busted, and the Temp in Knoxville has to be measured on the Kelvin scale, so this piece was a welcome read for us all!
