Inexorably the temperature
Degree by degree
Creeps up and upwards
Towards the forty three predicted
Without any preamble
By Mid morning it's reached thirty
Within an hour it'll be thirty-six
It'll soon be too hot for the electronics
So reading and writing
It's got to be today
Hot scorching wind is picking up
Fires will follow then
Keep inside, lots of fluids
Rest and sleep are recommended
Cold showers will bring
Only short respite
No need to be outside
Before the cooler side of midnight.
