Desert Heat

The desert heat burns.
My heart yearns.
My lips quiver.
With a cold shiver.

Is this a mirage?
A bit of hodge-podge!
Is it the real thing?
Will I feel the sting?

The scorpion lays in wait!
For a tasty morsel - am I the bait?
A Camel spider comes out at night.
Now the two might start a fight!

What is the fight about?
Who will the girl give a shout?
One of us is living proud!
But we all know three is a crowd!

I realize this sounds absurd,
But I think he's a nerd,
Plaid hat, plaid shirt.
He would look better in a skirt!

Maybe I should just lay low.
Decide to just let it go!
Walk on through and outta this place,
Before I become a real head case!

Smile like I never have before.
It really isn't that much of a chore.
It feels good to know joy.
But I still wish I were a boy!

Faint breeze kicks up dust!
Why do I have so much lust!
Walk out on the porch to cool down-
Smiling like I'm a clown.

Thoughts of her in my head
Thoughts of her in my bed
Too much time with her on my brain
Could I be going insane?

Enough of this poetry stuff
I try to hit it off the cuff
So I will say bye for now
This is so bad I can't even take a bow!
