My Kingdom for a Breeze

July was nearly unlivable with weather oh so hot
Dogs out at midnight seeking shade to catch a breath
My neighbor’s field of corn took a notion to pop
Three cows thought it a blizzard and froze to death.
I can’t recall a summer that was so hot and dry
The trees have adapted by learning how to jog
It may seem impossible, but here's the reason why
They had to find someway to keep up with the dogs.
Our thoughts turned to fall and we all began to plan
But there came a chill in the air that made us shudder
We have no one to thank for it except possibly Stefan
For giving everyone on Multiply his very cold shoulder.
