Ashley - Heat


In New Orleans, the sun likes to shine and shine and burn
Lemonade stands line almost every corner
Splashing children fill the pools
The lines for snowball stands are out the doors
But worth the wait
Even inside, the heat seems to spread
AC thermostats read false numbers
Escaping the heat in New Orleans is impossible
