It’s hot — so hot!
Humidity?
Through the roof
I’m cute as all get-out
In my flowers and bows
Yet after two hours
Of hawking my papers
On the heat-radiating roadway
Back and forth, back and forth
I’ve not made a single dollar
I pack it in
Thinking of dear Scarlett
Defiant — Undefeated
I whisper to the Sun
Tomorrow is another day!
