'Too Many Poets'

Too Hot to Work (Alf Williams)


 

 

Key to authors' pseudonyms

You sit at your keyboard
All set to compose.
You think at last you've got it.
Think again, my friend, because ...

It's too hot to work,
No matter how cool you are.
Too hot to work.
Make mine a double at the bar.

You take a vacation.
Get away from it all.
Put your thoughts down on paper.
Think again, my friend, recall ...

It's too hot to work,
No matter how cool you are.
Too hot to work.
Make mine a double at the bar.

You call them long-distance.
They put you on hold.
Time to throw in the towel.
Think again, my friend, be bold ...

It's too hot to work,
No matter how cool you are.
Too hot to work.
Make mine a double at the bar.

You seek a solution.
A final way out.
When everything seems perfect.
Think again, my friend, no doubt ...

It's too hot to work,
No matter how cool you are.
Too hot to work.
Make mine a double at the bar.
