Hot and humid


The rainclouds scatter with the winds
And the summer atrocities resume
The ice cream parlour is busy again
With children leading family marches
Into the shop that now closes later to
Host those who cannot sleep without
A little cup of butter-scotch or strawberry
As it is all barred for me even in extreme
Weather like this I have no craving for it
Having long shed my sweet tooth to limit
Blood sugar levels on doctor's orders ----
But give me a physician who prescribes 
Hill stations for heat wave conditions
And ice cream when it is hot and humid.
