When I lean over something,
That thing is suddenly wet.
I guess this reassures me
I'm not dehydrated yet.

A little while ago it felt like I'd stepped in a small puddle. I looked down and saw the sweat-trail of splashes where I'd been walking bent forward. Yowza -- all of that just came through my skin? I think I'll go drink another quart or two to try to stay ahead of the perspiration. I'm not used to perspiring this much when I'm not on stage (and even then, only when I'm playing with The Homespun Ceilidh Band).

Is that poem your original?

Yah. Mostly composed it in my head while I was still moving stuff around upstairs, and fixed the one remaining scansion problem just before logging in to post it here.

yup, my hubby has to wring out his sweatbands on a regular basis... he has been leaving puddles as well.

If I understood last night's forecast correctly, cooer air is supposed to get here just after I leave for Pennsic. I'm hoping this is the case, 'cause that'll mean it will have already gotten to Pennsic at that point. I dread the thought of setting up camp in this heat (after waiting in line at troll). Alas, I need to do some carpentry in the next few days to prepare for War, and I'll be doing that in the heat. Or I'll be borrowing tools on site to do it when I get there.
