Sweaty!

Sweaty!

Drops on my face from yours

It bleeds from every pore,

From my head to toe it seeps

Oozes on my slippery feet!

Exudes as my glands secrete -

Not so easy to keep discreet!

Down my back it leaves trickles

Leaving sweaty rivers as it ripples

And from my brow it drips,

Wipe off my salty tasting lips.

Burning up and boiling hot

Smelling like I'm on the rot;

Feeling like my body leaks

Perspired and my armpits reek!

All my clothes are soaked through

My socks are slipping in my shoe.

As slimy saline has escaped -

Feel so hot and oven baked!

Drink more water, keep hydrated

But need the loo and feel inflated.

It's sticky, stuffy and just not fair

As the wax has melted on my hair!

From humidity there's no escape

It's clammy, close, I'm feeling faint.

As a lady, I'll work and glow

But please excuse me if I'm slow.....
