A Bench in the Shade

You’ve got it made
With a bench in the shade
When the sun is boiling hot
But you’ve been played
For this charade
Is part of Nature’s plot.

See, I’m afraid
You’ve been betrayed
For thinking that this spot
Will masquerade
The heat that’s weighed
You down – but it will not.

It’s just delayed
The rays displayed
From letting you know what
You might have prayed
To barricade
Has added up to squat.
