Three Word Wednesday: acrid, bane, tepid

Warning: From the National Weather Service ... EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING in effect until Wednesday, Jul 7, 8:00 PM; Additional advisories also in effect

A BOOM and a foul, acrid smell,
Transformer exploded, then fell.
Without any power,
This damned tepid shower,
Is the bane of my AC-less hell.

(go ahead and read it out loud... no one is watching you)

Here is today's Three Word Wednesday

    I hope your AC's back online
    That you're feeling cool, and fine
    The lack of AC
    In a hundred degrees
    Is surely an Apocalypse sign.

    and your poem made me laugh...

    LOL. Tepid showers, unless in the middle of a Bakersfield Summer, are a real drag.

    (and thanks for commenting on my 3ww today!)

    MY AC is on the fritz so ... here I am feeling the pain and waiting for sweater weather.

    I hate summer...
