Sure Enough!

It’s too hot to work

     And too hot to play;

It’s too hot to go

     And too hot to stay.

It’s too hot to die

     And too hot to live;

Too hot to receive

     And too hot to give.

It’s too hot to sell,

     And too hot to buy;

It’s too hot to ride

     And too hot to fly.

It’s too hot to weep

     And too hot to wish,

But just about right

     To lay off and fish.
