The dog teeth of summer
As the famous Greek poet
Noted
Are lined up this week
Like ducks in a row of
A daily sequence
Made the poet aware
Of the lack of fountains
With a fine spray
To cool down pedestrians
Visitors to the city
All in pursuit of a good
Time in the city centre’s
Cultural heritage.
Check out Italy’s fountains
New York’s public cool down
Area
For a great social service.
So
The poet will do his usual
Walk along ‘Vorlaufstrasse’
And fetch a ‘Magnum Classic’
Ice cream on a stick
As a special treat:
When the delicious ice cream
With its chocolate coating
Melts down in the midday
Heat
Just right to eat.
Classic ice cream.
