I’d like to see the sun again
if it promises to behave.
It simply isn’t welcome back
if it brings an Awful Heat Wave.

Man
The world is full of creatures…
…big, or weird, or cute, or small…
And of all the earth’s strange creatures,
Man is weirdest of them all.
July 1, 2021
A cool marine layer slipped in overnight.
Our skies are soft-muted, and gray.
The dangerous heat’s a bad memory.
July’s just a regular day.
Rabbits
All creatures have a purpose.
Even rabbits have their place.
I just wish those pesky critters
would go find another space.
“Excessive Heat Warning” Ends
We’ve got a soft, gray cover.
It’s sixty-six degrees.
The air is back to normal.
We’re comfy as you please.
The State Re-Opens
The state is fully open…
but, somehow, we’ve all changed.
The Virus may be fading,
but our lives are re-arranged.
State Reopens Tomorrow: Last Day for Masks
Our Guv says we’ll re-open.
Says Old COVID’s on the run.
Says the Bad Old Days are over.
Says the New Day has begun.
Our Guv says all the businesses
can do what they gotta do
to try to turn a profit
now that we’ve all muddled through.
Our Guv says he will monitor
to keep us in the clear, and
if we misbehave enough,
new sanctions will appear.
So, say Goodbye! to COVID…
Give a pause for those who died….
If you’ve been vaccinated,
you can safely Go Outside.
People
The world is full of people
who are loving, good and kind.
And, when I think about them,
you’re the first one on my mind.
Heat Wave
The forecast’s for a hundred and three.
The prospect’s truly Scary.
I surely hope this “Dome of Heat”
is something Temporary!
“Unprecedented Heat”
I don’t know how to handle this.
It’s NINETY-SEVEN degrees.
The tem’prature keeps climbing up.
There’s not a hint of breeze.
