An Ode to Heat

The Furies of Nature are at it once more,
Today the heat index neared one hundred and four.

The 'hood then went dark when a transformer popped
Ending all air conditioning 'til past five on the clock.

But wait -- that's not all. Next the car battery failed.
Triple A said the wait might be up to an hour.

T'was not quite that long, but I too felt quite drained
By the time I set eyes on our home on the range.

So that's the whole reason why there's no blog tonight
Just this ill-written doggerel that I hope is spelled right.
