Perfect Temperature

It’s too hot to garden

Or scrub the floor

It’s too hot to paint

The weathered back door

It’s too hot to exercise

Or polish window-glass

Or go shopping

Or pick currants

Or cut the grass

Or do dishes, or bake

Or make anything besides

Coffee and lemonade

It’s too hot to prune shrubs

Even in the shade

Or do laundry or sweep porches 

Or wander the hills

To pick wild flowers

Its too hot to pay bills

Its too hot to can anything

Or to have an appetite

Too hot for cooking

We'll BBQ tonight

…But wait!

I think,

Ah yes,

I think

It might be

M-m-m-m-H-m-m-m!

I believe

That it

Just might

Be

The perfect temperature

To write

…and write

and

Write

Poetry

...couldn't resist:) It's what popped in my head as I was contemplating what to do today.
