Dog days of summer arrive
Sweating from moist, humid heat
Corn lifting up to heavens
Backyard grilling offers eats
Morning sun heats up quickly
Sweltering hot by high noon
Swimming pools usually packed
Closed by afternoon monsoons
Workers staying hydrated
Drinking water without end
Temperatures set record
Weather refusing to bend
Landscape’s beauty quickly fades
Stressing out from endless drought
People’s patience wearing thin
Nature sends timely bailout
Everyone prays for relief
Welcoming cold front arrives
Brief respite from summer’s heat
Dog days now humbly nosedive
