Killer

Summer Heat

By Mother CombsPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

The summer heat is a killer

It’ll wick all the moisture away

Leaving a dried-out husk behind

You’ll dehydrate like beef jerky

Shrivel up like a sour grape

Cause one to wilt down like a flower

Sweat will dry up like a pond

The summer heat is a murderer

Turning the green grass brown

Leaving nothing but dust in its path

Causing mirages to shimmer in the distance

The locust and cicadas come out and

eat what the heat does not wipe away

It’ll make the air you breath feel like a furnace blast.

The summer heat is an executioner

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
