The Heart is On
Posted: August 2, 2009
Sounding off about Seattle's Heat Wave…
I don't know 'bout global warming.
I just know I cannot sleep.
It's an oven in my bedroom,
much too hot for counting sheep.
Though they call this season summer,
I think simmer's more correct.
Since we have no air conditioning,
I'm a sleepless nervous wreck.
Yesterday we broke a record
1-0-3 humid degrees.
In Seattle that's unheard of.
It is known for seventies.
But perhaps God sent this heat wave
to convert our pagan state.
When the temperature's like Hades,
some might move t'ward Heaven's gate.
