Summer heat lays heavily this morning.
Instead of an energetic beginning of the day, there was a lethargic feeling.
Lethargy
Long dog days,
Marked by record heat, come as
Early-arrival weather,
Scorching and sizzling.
Todders run with glee,
Shouting, "It's hot."
Heat continues all day,
Slowing down life's pace but
Ants continue to scurry-
Heat resistant critters.
Riled by the heat wave,
Residents up their air conditioning,
Gauge their temperament
By the thermometer, and
Yearn for cooling rain
To regain energy levels.
