The highest leaf on the tree did not move
Brightest sunny rays worked to heat cool skin
Even in the shade heat did not improve
No breeze did stir to let relief begin
Glistening beads of sweat did start to roll
Dampness spreading along the shirt collar
Earth to bare feet like walking on hot coal
Surviving this heat might take a scholar
Thinking of good ways to find some relief
To playing in water the mind does race
Just taking a swim no matter how brief
The ringing bell like a cooling embrace
The ice cream man is truly a hero
For a few moments the temp feels subzero
