The End of August, and the Dragon is Here
We are taught in science class that heat rises
Because molecules bash each other
And thus thinned are lifted by denser air -
Raise your convections if you believe it is so!
The month of August persuades us otherwise
Late-summer molecules are dragon-hot
Ssssssteam-blooded reptiliansssss ssssssucking our sssssssouls
While hisssssing their sssssibilant sssssssatanic hymnsssss
Heat rises, we are taught in science class -
But in August it slithers lowwwww in the grass
