The numbers in this title

Refer to Centigrade

Temperatures about to hit

My home in Adelaide

Four days of bloody stinking heat

Records will be set

But I'll be in Hillbillys

Cool, with Thale (you've met)

(You haven't met Thalia my Muse of Mirth?

She's graced your screen on many occasions)

Together we will think up

Fun to grace your screen

Wherever in the world you are

From Thale and I, unseen

Think of us. while hot outside

(Hillbillys comfort-cool)

Thalia sipping Earl Grey tea

Mine's a coffee rule

I sink back in their leather lounge

While Thalia sits upright

Cos Thale's a lady, Muse of Mirth

Sprawled out would not look right

I don't like long-ish poems Thale

I need to finish up

(Enjoying your Earl Grey tea?

From your china cup?)

Yes Don...

The hand you see a'waving Ruth
Is fanning my poor bod
It seems to not be working well
Which does seem rather odd

blip...blip...

Janet thinks I'm waving at her.....

Janet (from some other planet) is my co-pilot friend in a hovering spaceship.

I see you there a waving
From your place of heat
Whilst here I am in UK
Freezing in my seat

Joe

Lucy L (our Like-Minders Society Head of Publicity) is reprimanding me. She says why did you assume Joe was in UK? Hmmm I said. to which she replied he could've been in

'Today, the scale is primarily used in the United States, and is also used in the Cayman Islands, Palau, Bahamas and Belize'

Take your pick she said. So I picked you a relaxed poet having a fun time in sunny Bahamas (and all that).

Spot on, Thalia my Muse of Mirth said.

Hey, where's Ruth gone? Am I too hot to handle girl?

?

How did you know this I said?

We have ways the girls said.....

I was quite miffed as you haven't put up an audio so how was I to know? You got special communication channels with my girls?

Po, is there some sort of intra-planetary out-of-body thing going on here?

Hey, where's Ruth gone? Am I too hot to handle girl?

We see a snowy Christmas
They come to us each year
Decorating Christmas cards
Bringing lotsa cheer

Thalia says a Chinaman
Has lots and going cheap
And sells to sucker Aussies
And we don't give a peep
