The Quark In The Road
How I stay cool on these sweltering days
Many go to the beach when it’s humid and hot;
A few still cool off with a fan.
There are others who seek out the shadiest spot
Along with a frigid beer can.
I’ve tried all of these and they offer relief.
But what’s best I’ll explain with a precis.
To really avoid all the sweat and the grief
Just turn down the temp on the AC.

I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
