Explore "A Summer Summary" by Franklin P. Adams on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Shall I, lying in a grot, / Die because the day is hot? / Or declare I can't endure / Such a torrid temperature? / Be it hotter than the flames / South Gehenna Junction claims, / If it be not so to me, / What care I how hot it be?
Shall I say I love the town / Praised by Robinson and Browne? / Shall I say, "In summer heat / Old Manhattan can't be beat? " / Be it luring as a bar, / Or my neighbour's motor-car, / If I think it is pazziz / What care I how fine it is?
