"Tsithotenouchforvou?" It's a silly, idle question;
and it makes me sad and blue, and it gives me indigestion.
I could stand the sizzling heat, and look pleasant in my
sorrow looking forward to some sleet, or a snowstorm on
the morrow; I can take the cheerful view; till some jay
comes up inquiring, "Is it hot enough for you?" when
with heat I am expiring. Then my rage I scarce can quell,
and my ire I scarce can bridle, and I feel my bosom swell
with emotions homicidal. Commonly Tin meek and mild,
yearning for a: life of quiet, but this question drives me
wild, and I gladly hail a riot. - Commonly I sing and smile,
lM.it this query, vain and brutal, always seems to stir my
Wle, makes me feel that peace is futile. Calmly in the heat
I stew, till I hear some fellow asking, "Is it hot enough
for you?" Then I cease my patient basking. Then my
war paint I put on, green and crimson, blue and yellow,
and I strew the sunstruck lawn with the fragments of that
fellow. It is hot enoirgh for me; all my organs melt to
gether; I'd be swinish, you'll agree, if I asked for hotter
weather. . : ;; '
