On An Oppresively Hot Afternoon

Today the Sun was scorching hot

We stewed like carrots in a pot

We burned black as forgotten toast

Our skins turned crisp as chicken roast.

 

Today the Sun, it burned us bad

And drove us all stark, raving mad

We jumped in rivers off bridges

And chilled with ice cubes in fridges.

 

The Sun’s rays burned like chemicals

The women took off all their clothes

And all the men who were near there

Forgot the heat to stop and stare.

 

Dear Sun, whate’er we did to make

You angry �" forgive our mistake

Don’t wipe us, like sweat, off Earth’s face

Sincerely yours, The Human Race.

Haha!!! That was catchy and funny. And witty. I hate the sun sososo much when it is that damn hot, but it's winter here and right now I wouldn't mind it as long as there was a breeze. I love this, and the last line really sold it for me. I absolutely love the way you write, and the rhyming and everything about it. It's awesome.(:
