The Sun of Texas

May sun is warm
An old friend
You have missed
 
June sun
Still smiles
And promises more fun
 
July sun is hot
Burning down on
Sizzling meat
 
August sun
is a four letter word
Suffocating
Deadly
Slowly cooking you
Inside out
 
August sun
is a four letter word
Hot!

(2015)

Props to my Dad on this one. Drink water everybody!
