WOW! It's hot out!
Wow, it's hot out!
James M M Baldwin
The Thermostat shows a rising thermometer
Heavy wet air, an increasing barometer
Summer sun shines hot as a blaze
Distant hills hidden in humidity's haze
Oppressive, muggy, blistering heat wave
A scorcher, sweltering, sultry dog days
Firecrackers on the Fourth of July
Hot from the oven spiced apple pie
Egg on a sidewalk without a fryer
Out of the pan and into the fire
An Indian dish with too much curry
A Mexican feast consumed in a hurry
A breakfast of hot red chili peppers
August Fifteenth in a turtle neck sweater
Tongue on fire, five alarm Barbecue
Lips blistered, steaming hot cup of brew
Singed seared smoked stewed steamed simmered and broiled
Fat-fried braised poached grilled baked blackened and boiled
Hot summer night around a campfire
Hot dog on a stick as black as a tire
Death Valley Sahara Mojave desert
Stuck without shade in a black tie and dress shirt
Feline paws on a hot metal roof
A camel with humps, hot sand under hoof
Get out of the kitchen, can't stand the heat
The pressure is on; you’re in the hot seat
A discussion becomes a heated exchange
In the heat of the moment, a hot tempered Rage
One-hundred four, a dreadful fever
Burning words from the master deceiver
Hades bell rings the toll of death knell
Your soul has the chance of a snowball in hell
Heatstroke is threat’ning, but don’t be afraid
Thank God for air conditioning and ice cold lemonade
