RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING
The Heat Rolls In
Today’s the day the heat rolls in
And stays into the night
As perspiration coats our skin
The sky is burning bright
We count the swollen hours
Until the sun goes down
People age like wilting flowers
We dry and turn to brown
And this is still the end of May
A glimpse of what’s to come
Soon summer heat will come to stay
A pounding like a drum
Summer nights are hard and long
Relief cannot be found
Our kids will grow up tough and strong
The toughest kids around
The elders will endure it all
Just like we have before
Those who rise can never fall
We'll come right back for more
