Hot!

It’s way too hot to be outside;
I felt like I was roasting.
It’s too hot to do anything,
Except perhaps this posting.

This weather makes me want to be
Some place that’s nice and cool.
It’s not enough to be nearby
An ocean, lake, or pool.

I like to be where I can walk
Without profusely sweating.
Living where I live, of course,
I knew what I was getting.

But some days are ridiculous;
Today is one of those.
If I didn’t have A/C,
I’d perish, I suppose.

But since I do, I’ll stay inside,
Indebted to Con Ed;
Although when I receive my bill,
I’ll hate their guts instead.
