So hot we might die?
Relax. If it was THAT bad,
Someone would warn us.

Does Cassandra count?

@vnikolov She's there in my tags, so I think so.

I skipped the tags.
I am sorry.

@vnikolov No worries. Just saying she was acting in the role of a muse for this unamusing poem.

Nice morpheme play.
It seems "muse" and "amuse" are not cognate.
Seems, because there are uncertainties in the etymology of both, but there is no suggested commonality.
