Hot, Hot, Hot

I’m too damn hot
I cannot breathe
I fear I’ll die
Of heat disease
My face is red
My neck is soaked
My lips are dry
My throat is croaked
Would someone please
turn on a fan
Or air conditioner
If you can
I do not know
what’s wrong with me
My temperature is 103
Or maybe even 104
I just can’t take this anymore
Off to the doc to find the cause
OMG it’s menopause!
