if you're alone,

don't put stuff on;

'specially nylon.

Don't be a rube.

Tie an ice cube

under each arm.

What could it harm?

Plant one or two

into each shoe.

Freeze your nethers!

(even better.)

_______________

Or better yet,

don't break a sweat!

Avoid workouts!

(Was there a doubt?)

Eat something chill.

Gazpacho kills.

'Mater aspic

might do the trick.

A vichyssoise

will cool you off.

Or try a bisque.

What could you risk?

to think cool thoughts.

Just settle down.

Hot flashes drown ...

with an iced tea ...

and daiquiri!

Raise up a flask ...

(Do you need ask?)

of ale or wine.

Fill up that stein!

Cool from within.

Vodka (or gin?)

martinis' neat!
