Hot Days

The summer is here among us,
thermometers swell, and burst
the weather man oft has stung us,
and now he has done his worst.
The sky is like brass at present,
the sky that was lately blue-but
off where it's cool and pleasant
they're having their troubles, too !.
The breezes that come a-shovin'
their way through the sweating
town, seem fresh from red hot
oven, all baked to a luscious
brown; and SO, in despairing
legions, we simmer and steam and
stew-but up in the arctic regions
they're having their troubles. too. !.
We sigh for the ocean breezes. we
sigh for the snow-capped hills, we
long for the forest treeses, the
lakes or the ripping rills: our
mouths are becoming fountains of
words of a rich, dark blue-but
off in the woods and mountains
they're having their troubles, too
We're cussing around together,
we say that the climates bad /;
but listen! it isn't weather that
maketh man gay or sad! Let's dig
up a better topic than weather
that's gone askew, and cen
though the summers tropic, we'll
all have our pleasures, too!
