Hot

Will this summer never end? I dream of ice cold lakes to plunge into, central air, seeing my breath on a winter morning. Where is the arctic wind?

Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind

by Shakespeare

Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.

No no no! It needs to be summer year round! The very thought of a winter's frost kicks my seasonal depression into high gear! I am going to do a summer dance ritual to prolong this beautiful heat and sunshine.

Dear Jr., The heat in Queens has addled your brain. Summer BAD, 90 plus degrees, BAD. I am going to come out this weekend and sit on you until you swear never to dance the summer dance again. You're supposed to be a WHITE witch!

I am a maiden as well as a white witch. Maidens prefer the summer while crones prefer the winter. I think Shakespeare was at the end of his life when he wrote that poem, and had given up on summer's beautiful bounty.

I am a maiden at heart, eternally, much like Brook Astor.

Dear Jr., Brook Astor is senile.

Dear Fourth Person, I too am a child of Autumn. Weezer's commnent begets the question, why DO you live in Texas?
