Haiku Hope part 6 – Sweat

Well, you must’ve known I’d create a Haiku about this weather. Even though I’m indoors it’s affecting a huge portion of my life…not least my sleep. I struggle to doze off in a cloud of close humidity, then wake up at 3am and need my dressing gown because I’m cold.

You can’t win.

It’s 8am now and I’m exhausted. It’s even worse that I can’t enjoy the sunshine in a pub garden or at the seaside (both things is daydream about regularly).

So instead of doing those lovely things, I’ve written a Haiku for you about the sweating.

How pleasant!

Sweat

Indoors with chub rub
Sweat on my clothes, hair, and boobs
Twenty four seven

Lmao – this is genuinely how I’m coping with the humidity. I thought my years of chub rub were over, but apparantly when the Met Office says anything above 30 degrees, my body finds new places to chafe and get uncomfortable.

Being chubby in this heat is no fun at all.

Talcum powder shares must be going through the roof.

Thanks for reading! ☀️🌞😎
