Ode to the Air Conditioner

Oh! A/C how I praise thee!
Through all these hot summer days
I may sometimes hide beneath blankets
But you’re here in my debt and my praise
I would never make it without you
With you, I’ve the strength to subsist
You help me to maintain my focus
You make sure that I can exist

All hail thee, mighty A/C friend
You’re always there when I need
Sometimes I feel I abuse you
But you see it as part of your creed
You know that the heat leaves me restless
It ravages body and mind
But you remain true to your purpose
The most loyal friend I can find

Oh A/C! You know all my strong points
You know all my weaknesses too
I owe my good health to your presence
I thank you for staying so true
Summer heat, humid days and my asthma
Are not the three best things that should mix
But I’ll bow my head now before you
For the temp read of seventy-six!
