When You Can't Beat The Heat
Have Fun Any Way
The weathers hot with the sun shining bright
Coming closer and closer to 100
I have to go to work
In work it's always hotter
No A.C.
Not now ....not ever
I work in the kitchen
Not even fans are allowed
The air conditioning is for the customers
Many things you think about when you are looking for work
How hot it will be in the summertime was not one of them
Now I have plenty of time to think
So I think of all the times I have gone to the beach
As the sweat pools on my forehead
I remember my feet tapping that freezing ice cold water
How I raced out so quickly
Splashing water everywhere
Shivering wildly until the next moment
Then running straight back in
A little deeper this time to my knees
A wave comes crashing through
I can see the white foam rising to the top
Only to disappear out of sight
Now my work pants feel like leg irons
Restricting any movement and holding in the heat
i can feel my temperature rising
How wonderful it is just to have a cold drink
As we get busier by the second
My discomfort is soon forgotten
Waiting for the hours to pass
So I can arrive home
Go into my refridgerator
Pull out a big bowl of watermelon
All cut up in square pieces
Ready to be eaten
Making my sorrows disappear with every bite
Maybe not forever even though it would be nice
I am really happy
To see them leave for the moment
