Really Awful Hot Air

The Cottage – current residence for three adults, two kids, five pooches, three budgies, and numerous millipedes.

 

 ‘We need some airconditioners!’

My daughter blurted out;

The heated tones she used

Left me in very little doubt

The matter, it was urgent,

So forthwith I promptly went

To airily explore how best

Such outlay could be spent.

 

I soon returned triumphantly

With items I’d acquired;

I thought that the results

Would leave her breezily inspired:

‘Here’s some for oily, some for dry,

And some for normal hair,

Thus cooling down the cause you are

The heir to such despair!’

 

(It’s just as well this scene outlined

Did not in fact take place,

Or, frozen by a glare,

I might depart the human race;

In fact, the heat and humiture

That rages on outside,

Our two machines, today installed,

Are serving well to hide!)
