Keep Cool

Keep Cool

It isn't easy to keep cool
when the temperature is hot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.

The heat builds, sweat begins to pool.
I grab a cloth and start to blot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.

Distraction might be a good tool.
I guess I will give it a shot.
Think back to a wintery spot.
Snow covers the ground, cold winds rule. 

It isn't easy to keep cool
when the temperature is hot.
When the temperature is hot,
it isn't easy to keep cool.

This poem is written in a French form called rondel double.
