The First Of 08

The first day of 08 a warm and a humid day And weeks of weather such as this on the way A furnace like breath in the afternoon breeze In a forecast high of 39 degrees From the constant heat their only form of ease The sheep congregate in the shade of the trees The renowned chirpers house sparrows the only birds one does hear On the first day of January in the Southern New Year In towns and in cities from here near and far away The revellers of last night are hung over today A cool change is coming in the forecast we do hear As to the prime of Summer we are drawing ever near The first day of January and so warm is the sun And another New Year has already begun.
