The Hottest I Can Remember
The Hottest I Can Remember:
The Summer of 2010
By Elton Camp
Weather’s a good topic to discuss
Or like this summer mainly to fuss.
I don’t know what it’s been like where you stay
In the South, it’s been blazing for many a day.
Our daytime highs have been a disgrace
Open the door and heat slaps your face.
Even in the garage, the steering wheel is hot to the touch
After time in a store parking lot, to handle it is too much
With the air conditioner turned to max,
It takes several miles before I can relax.
Afternoon highs over a hundred degrees
Such extremes would anyone displease.
Not much relief is anywhere in sight.
It’s still muggy and hot, even at night.
But given time it will pass us on by
Then about cold we’ll begin to sigh.
