Dripping sweat and wet shirts, could it get any worse?
Waiting for mangoes and the rain, this time seems a curse.
Humidity has increased, and so has the sun's power
Also profit is earned by energy drink makers every hour.
Ten minutes of walking in the sun,
You are tired like a 200-meter run.
People gasping with handkerchiefs pressed to their foreheads
Mouths as dry as a toasted bread!
Thirty to thirty-nine, a regular jump
While the people out on streets walking with a slump.
Temperature, temperature, a very big agony!
People don't even step out in their balcony!
More than 8 glasses of water a day
Guess now surviving a summer is not a child's play.
When I turn on the A/C, it sticks its tongue out
I'm fanning myself with a paper, A/C's busy with it's pout.
Just in this season, the electric department cut off the light
Earning their incomes and potbelly sitting tight!
Crows shouting around for their share of water,
and mothers buying ointments to protect their daughters.
Sun-screen, Sunglasses and a pretty hat
Wearing a jacket on a cotton dress there I sat.
An umbrella as shade from the direct sun rays
Also a thin slipper, on my foot it stays.
All ready for getting out in summer
Its already so hot, the sun out full of glamour!
Couldn't the clouds come to our rescue
When whole country is standing askew
