“SUMMER NIGHTMARE”

The arrival of the summer

Makes my beautiful jacket useless

In the hands of the summer.

It takes gut to live in middle-east in summer

Where the sun and humidity is a beast

I always wanted is to end

So that I could be free from the heat

That makes me sweat like a pig

And makes my armpit drips like an ocean.

Having mid-day shift is horrible

And waking under 50°C sun is terrible

I can't wait for winter to come once again

Am tired of sealing up me in AC

And tired of getting scared of going out

I can't wait for another December

To pull out my beautiful jacket under my bag

And work around like a free man

Under the adorable weather, luckily no snow.
