My glass is sweating
And so am I
It’s hot as, well
You know,
This 4th of July
Southern summers,
It’s hard to beat the heat
So I’ll sit my bare bottom on this
Frozen seat
Mistakes were made-
Ice is nice in my tea
But a block of ice
To cool down my tail
Is not risk-free
Take it from me
And my cold ass cheeks
Now adhered to this chilly chair,
Not all ideas are created equal
Or good for one’s derriere
The prompt is “cold ass cheeks” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 14, National Poetry Month 2022.
