Cooler In The Shade
It’s cooler in the shade drinking lemonade
when you have it made
in an everglade
It’s cuter with romance rattling the dance
when you have a stance
in a game of chance
It’s greater to be best outsmarting the rest
when you have a quest
in a sports contest
It’s hotter in the sun swimming for the fun
when you have it done
in a northern run
It’s dryer up a tree calming down with tea
when you have a key
in a stormy sea
It’s better in the mire breathing hot desire
when you have a choir
in a forest fire
It’s smarter to be right excluding all might
when you have delight
in a baseless fight
It’s faster at full boar gaining triumph lore
when you have a roar
in a tug of war
It’s nicer on the moon eyeing some cartoon
when you have a boon
in a gale typhoon
It’s safer on a lake spooning ice-cream cake
when you have a break
in a massive quake
