Caroline - Heat


New Orleans weather
Escaping the heat, it’s impossible to beat
89 degree weather, oh it has been better
But you wait for summer
And don’t realize it’s a bummer
Cause the temperature rises
But just when you think you’re tired of it
You’re persuaded to get through it
But don’t sweat the small stuff
Because what you think is rough
After all, ain’t so tough 

Caroline, age 16
