It’s hot

It’s so hot

I am ready to drop,

Worked so hard

I could not stop,

And it is so hot

And I am working up a sweat,

Working in the heat

It’s not easy to forget

That it’s so hot,

Perspiration in my eyes

As I keep to the grind,

Beads of sweat

Running down my neck,

Waiting for clocking off time

I am exhausted I ain’t going to lie,

Because it’s so hot,

But then I moan when it’s cold

But what’s a man to do,

When working outside

There’s no place to hide,

Hot or cold

I am getting to old for this shit,

The constant struggle

Just to get by and exist.

And it’s so hot.

    Great poem Faux. We are having thunderstorms now in the UK, which are cooling things down a little. Hope you are bringing the temperature down a bit!

      No thunderstorms here on the south coast, still really hot. Got fan on me while laying in bed trying to cool down. 💖Faux

        Aww, hope you cool off Faux. Run the cold water tap over the inside of your wrists for a while. Always works for me.
