Taking a break this week from the “leadership thoughts” per se. It’s just been too hot to almost do anything. So I decided to write about the heat. Hope you enjoy a little Friday levity…

Dang, It's Hot Outside

I feel the sun’s scorching rays,
As the air is lit ablaze.
The sun hugging me in a hot embrace.
Sweat rolling down my forehead,
Creating a cherry popsicle face.
Dang, It’s hot outside.

The sun beats down,
Sizzling the ground,
Soles of my shoes melting. 
Looking for a shade please,
For any breeze would be a tease.
Dang, It’s hot outside.

To work and sweat is one thing.
To sit and sweat is another.
Air-conditioner and fans are at full blast,
The heat index feels maxed!
And this wet-bulb global temp has everyone guessing? 
Dang, it’s hot outside.

Even at night, under the lights,
Humidity so thick,
I can cut it with a knife.
The chirps of crickets that I like to hear,
Now seem like moans of dread and fear.
Dang, it’s hot outside.

Morning brings a hot new day,
"Let the temperature rise," I say. 
Sweating a swimming pool with each step,
Getting sunburned just thinking,
Hoping I don’t die from heat accumulation. 
Dang, It’s hot outside. 

But, grin and bear it I do,
Putting on hats and frogg togg cools.
For in a few months,
My thoughts will change.
As the temps drop low,
And we wish the heat again.

But for right now...
Dang, It's hot outside!

Go be a great educator and leader today… Our future needs it…
