Smokin! Thanks, PB. Last month’s poetry group prompt was HEAT. This was more fun than complaining about the weather. 🙂

After that marathon race through the alphabet, you are allowed to cool off, Joan.

Thanks, Peter. By the letter “U” I was really starting to sweat! This began as a list poem and turned alphabetical. The first stanza rhymed so I decided to try to make all the others rhyme, too. 🙂

Thanks, Muri. I am, too. Good way to expand your vocabulary. I found “zaftig” while paging through the Z’s in the dictionary and fell in love with it. Zaftig means full-figured, pleasingly plump… like, a sexy way of being fat. Yeah, baby! 🙂

After viewing this poem on my computer, all my case fans activated and my CPU rose to 150 degrees.

Holy cow, Tippy, it must be one of those “smart” computers! At least it was smart enough to turn on the fans. Maybe you should offer it a glass of ice-cold lemonade. 🙂

Good idea. And it worked. I googled images of lemonade, and soon after my case fans stopped.

The fact that deep-fried treats follows cremation ovens in your list has me concerned… Those deep-fried treats didn’t by chance come out of a cremation oven, did they? 😬😜

Yikes, Quirky! I was thinking more along the lines of onion rings or a funnel cake. Cremation ovens are really hot–over 1400 degrees F–and the end product is something like dust/sand with bits of bone granola in it. 🙂

You had me all the way down to Zydeco rhythms – what in the heck is that? (And “hot undergarments” is a bit of a stretch too, isn’t it? 🙂

Zydeco is a musical genre, a sort of Cajun rhythm and blues with accordions, harmonicas, and washboards. Think: the score from Amelie played by hillbillies. Hot undergarments could be those worn by Victoria’s Secret models, or just regular spandex bras and girdles that raise your core body temperature ten degrees. 🙂
