DOG DAYS
BIZ THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

The sun goes down fiery red dog
Behind clouds rising like towers;
The air heavy, close and dead
Portends good old thunder showers.
The lightning crackles with lendlsh glee
Tracing patterns cross the sky;
Each flare anticipates roaring noise,
The thunder's prompt reply.
Most every day the air is heavy
Morning struggles through haze;
Each day more and more the windows stick
So we know it's those darned dog days.
The sun goes down fiery red dog
Portending a day of real heat;
Oh, summers all right sometimes mayhap,
But dog days are no treat.
