Ass sweat: a poem

It rolls downhill, gathering speed as it hugs the contours of my shoulders and back.
The quiet waits to be shattered by the sound of my AC
but instead it mocks me and the sweat continues to travel
Joined by its brothers and sisters, it becomes a river, raging across my skin

I beg the fan for some relief. It does its best. It’s not enough.
“Adam”, the pool calls seductively, “Come to me.”
A night of cool ecstasy, floating on a cloud
It’s worth the wrinkles that the morning will surely bring.

    @Sarcastic Mom, I did drop the ball on this one, that’s true.

  2. It’s been over 100 every day this week here. That’s not normal for the OC at all. Not only have I experienced Ass Sweat, but my cleavage sweat is out of control. I’m seriously considering around topless. Why can men do that, but women can’t? Not fair.

    @Twenty Four At Heart,

    Let’s start a trend.

    @Twenty Four At Heart, I think that women should be able to do that as well. I’ll support that issue.

    Words are worth 1000 pictures. No need for hairy naked pics with this.

    @Jared, I don’t know, it might enhance the post!

  4. We’re suffering from a heat wave out here too.

    Substitute the ass sweat for boob sweat and you’ve just written the poem I’ve been humming in my head all day long.

    @Redneck Mommy, do you have air conditioning in Canada?

    lol – topless isnt encouraged in restaurants – no shirt, no shoes, no service. And everyone wants service… right?

    IDK why i said that – but it was a nice poem.

    I hate ass sweat, but I despise boob sweat even more. The high was 50 where I live today, and its in the 40′s right now. I’m wearing sweats and freezing.

    @Becky, I wish I was there right now!

    Fucking beautiful. Ass sweat has never been so sexy. Thank you for making my Saturday night – which has been otherwise BORING – worthwhile. *smooch*

    @Sassy, I’m glad that I was able to sweat my ass off for you!

    As long as it doesn’t cause an ass sweat rash. I have Anti-Monkey Butt Powder and Boudreaux’s Butt Paste if needed. I’ll bring them to AvitaWeen. YWIA.

    @Kim, no sweat rash for me. I moisturize!

    I can handle all the boob sweat going around here, not so much the ass sweat. My problem is my forehead erupts into torrents when it is hot, I should take to wearing a headband!

    @Mik, then you can just bring the eighties back!

  10. Jared says:

    As long as your definition of ass sweat means swamp ass…

    There’s nothing better then that…

    At all…

    Well maybe boob sweat.

    Reply

    @Jared, and by better you mean horrible, right?

    Reply

    @Avitable, Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

    Right now I am sitting in front of my lovely air conditioner in my bed room. I just thought you’d like to know.

    Posterior perspiration poem paints pretty picture. Pool? Please!!

    Reply

    @avatgardener, perhaps the pool postpones perspiration.

  14. When you’re a pre-menopausal woman, you get to experience crotch sweat!

    Another night — I wake up all wet
    Nothing’s amiss! It’s simply crotch sweat
    So things get a little soggy down there
    It only requires a change of underwear
    They say it’s common among old ladies — but wait!
    Goddamn it, y’all. I’m only 48!

    @JD at I Do Things, I think you’re thinking of me and having nocturnal emissions.

    WTF?

    Dude, I know you made this commitment to post something on your blog every single day, but – seriously? Couldn’t you have just reposted a cartoon or something?

    @Miss Britt, but it was soooo hot with no AC and all I could think about was sweat. I write what I know!

    Allow me to complement your work of art with a haiku:

    Prickly beads of sweat
    Roll down my back to my ass
    Refrigerator

    @Grant, you have an ass refrigerator? Sweet.

  20. I didn’t think I’d ever have nearly as much ass and boob sweat as I did when I was in Kentucky. Then I went to Florida.

    But, like Mah Becky, it’s freeeeezing here so I think I’d much rather have your weather at this point.

    I am intensely grateful for our unseasonable, perfect, low 70s degree weather. I can’t stand sweating. (Well, unless it’s for a good reason. Sitting is not a good reason.)

    Reply

    @Sybil Law, agreed.

  22. thanks for the reminder that i should never move to florida.

    @hello haha narf, the few days without AC are worth the days of awesomeness.
