A Slice of Tomato, and a Bit of Heat.

Hot, hot, hot summer day, sitting on the porch with a glass of wine.
Wishing for a breeze, perhaps the fragrance of gardenias.
Make it a bit more elegant Old South,
no longer a porch, certainly a veranda.
Trade in my wine for a mint julep or just a glass of Iced Tea,
my slumped posture for elegant poise.
