SURFACE HEAT
The traveler's report perplexes
when he wrote of a visit to Texas
the season was Summer
the sun was out
but on the street there was no one about
Upon further investigation
and puzzled consternation
The people he found,
walking under the ground
in air conditioned elation
SUMMER MUSINGS
Once thrust into a Summer in Texas
You'll yearn to turn back to Spring
Intense heat, large bugs to vex us
Just hear the cicadas sing
when he wrote of a visit to Texas
the season was Summer
the sun was out
but on the street there was no one about
Upon further investigation
and puzzled consternation
The people he found,
walking under the ground
in air conditioned elation
SUMMER MUSINGS
Once thrust into a Summer in Texas
You'll yearn to turn back to Spring
Intense heat, large bugs to vex us
Just hear the cicadas sing

We've got some heat in L.A., but probably nothing like yours. Excellent write, Gahdess!

I remember many a 100 degree Summer's day growing up in Ssn Jose...it's the humidity that kills here. Thank Sir Crow!
