Heat Advisory – But Whom Does the Heat Advise?
“Heat advisory issued as temps expected to reach triple digits”
-Houston Chronicle, 29 July 2017
Hey, temps, you’ve been reaching for those digits
For centuries. Always you reach, sometimes
you grasp, those urged indoor activities
while counting up to three in Fahrenheit
And not in that ungodly Celsius
Which is simply not our kind of measure
We need no Frenchified logic like that
For the Bible is free of decimals
Hey, temps, you’ve been reaching for those digits -
Now cuddle up with an air-conditioner

This is drivel devoid of any substance; in this heat one can't push an adverb next to a verb with any sense of meaning or logic.
