In the Midwest
you get both levels of extreme
sticky humid hot
and the bone-deep freeze
those who complain
of dark winter's chill
are the same who bemoan
summer's concrete grill
but why not relish both supremes
the challenging cold
and the hypnotic heat
for yes, like a lead apron
lies the blistering day
but temperance is not demanded
for adventure or play
and the trial of sweat
may sweeten a foray
