Sizzling Summer

Hot Buns in the Summertime

The Summer Is Cool in C.H., much Cooler than in Calzoncillos, Phoenix, Athens, Madrid, Dubai . . .

Rhine River, somewhere between Trin and Tamins, C.H. A good place to chill. Author’s file

He crashed in through the wintergarden

Zoomed into the house alone

Slipped and fell when the dog barked at him

Slammed the door on the buzzing drone

Didn’t anybody warn him?

Didn’t anybody say

That drone’s not gonna hurt you.

It just has the blues today.

It’s been whooshing o’er the country

with no place to unload its throne

Though he’d ordered a pizza oven

Switzerland was a ‘no-fly zone’

Didn’t anybody warn him?

Didn’t anybody say

That drone’s not gonna hurt you.

It just has the blues today.

So he’d need to go to Jumbo

Support the local economy

He sure felt like a dumb dumb Dumbo

and he had no place to pee
