Blessed Misdummer Solstice --

The local-local weather station reported 113 as the high today, making today the hottest day of the year so far

Lovely :) I love the internal rhymes - and the concept itself is, of course, beautifully expressed :) The whole sperm metaphor of the third verse - wonderful.

And 113 degrees, no aircon? Thank the heavens for fans, and wishing you a quick fix on Monday!

Thank you -- the sperm metaphor arrived unexpectedly, but I figured I would go with it. I am very happy that it works!

I have partial aircon -- the fan will run & push cold air for about 10 minutes every half hour or so, which is much better than no cold air at all, but also means that the house is holding at like 90, and I have to be here to turn it on & off. The Perry-man can not get here too soon :-).

Unfortunately, the metaphor reminds me a little too much of a friend snarking about a certain poetically-inclined author who prefers to write longhand: "Of course -- that way he can do it one-handed". :-)
